CNBC INVESTIGATES THE FRONT LINES OF THE WAR ON HEALTH CARE FRAUD

Tonight at 9PM ET/PT, CNBC will present Health Care Hustle, a one-hour original documentary reported by Scott Cohn and the CNBC Investigations Inc. team. They spent months on the front lines with a joint strike force taking down alleged health fraudsters and criminal rings accused of bilking Medicare and Medicaid out of millions. The strike force — one of nine across the country — is at the heart of a two-year federal crackdown on fraud, and Health Care Hustle examines whether it is working.

We spoke with Scott this morning to find out more about health care fraud in America and what consumers can do to fight back. Check it out here:
