They’re called qui tam suits[1] and in the US they’re commonly brought under the False Claims Act[2] which can apply to any government contractor but Medicare Fraud is a big piece. The way it works is the “whistleblower” files a civil suit with the allegations and then the government can choose whether or not they want to take over the case. If the government think your allegations are solid and the potential recovery is worth their while they’ll take the case and you’re entitled to 10% of anything they ultimately recover. If, for whatever reason, the government decides not to get involved, you can continue the case on your own (but kind of on behalf of the government... it’s a bit weird how it works) and anything you recover goes to the government but you get 30% for your trouble. The SEC also has a whistleblower program that another commenter has linked and, as of recently, they have really been paying out a lot of money to whistleblowers. Larger sums and more frequent payouts than we’ve ever seen before.
