U.S. launches probe into possible fraud by organ collection groups
The probe involves U.S. attorneys in various parts of the country who
are investigating organ procurement organizations in at least five
states. Their team includes investigators from the Department of
Health and Human Services and the office of Michael Missal, the
inspector general of the Department of Veterans Affairs. They are
seeking to determine, among other things, whether any of these groups
have been overbilling the government for their costs.

nonprofits have violated the federal False Claims Act by knowingly
billing the federal government for unallowable costs, according to the
people aware of the investigation.
