Goals / Remit
The European Healthcare Fraud & Corruption Network (EHFCN) is the only European organisation dedicated to combating fraud, waste and corruption in the healthcare sector across Europe.
Annual healthcare spending across the European Union totals approximately one trillion Euros. It is estimated that between 3% and 8% of healthcare budgets are lost every year to healthcare fraud and corruption. Deception can take many forms, from wrongly billed claims and unqualified practitioners to forged receipts and illegal prescriptions and from counterfeit medicines to aritificial price cartels.
EHFCN's primary objective is to reduce these unacceptable losses in order to bring back money to healthcare services for the benefit of every patient.
EHFCN provides information, tools, training and assistance in fighting fraud, waste and corruption as well as a platform for its members to exchange information and ideas.
EHFCN is a not-for-profit organisation financed through subscription fees. Its members are healthcare and counter fraud organisations in Europe.Main EU files targeted
