| Investigation of the Year Award |
It is the practice of the Association to present during The NHCAA Institute’s Annual Training Conference an annual NHCAA Investigation of the Year Award selected by the NHCAA Awards Committee following an open nominations and judging process coordinated by the NHCAA Director of Investigation Support. Due to the complexity of health care fraud investigations, a multi-organization investigative effort normally is required for a successful resolution and, therefore, it is more appropriate to recognize this multi-organization approach. Each organization having a significant role in the investigation receives a plaque. In addition, an Honorable Mention Award is presented to each participating organization for the next highest-rated investigation. NHCAA offers a full complimentary conference registration to each individual involved in the investigations.
