What to do if I just discovered that my employer has been committing fraud by billing worker’s comp for medical services that were not performed?
This has been going on for almost 2 years. I’m not sure if the CEO (a doctor) is aware of this or not. I have to wonder as it is such a large amount of money and the “biller” has a history of this already and he asked her to stop immediately. But this is nearly a million dollars. There could be more. Now that I have found out, what should I do?

You can contact the office of the Attorney General in California and report the fraudulent billing of workers' compensation.
Fraud is both criminal and civil. The criminal case is separate from the civil case. The office of the Attorney General in CA can handle both the criminal and civil cases.
