Whistleblower Tips and Complaints Regarding the Chemical and Surgical Mutilation of Children

On April 14, 2025, the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) published guidance to protect whistleblowers who make reports regarding the chemical and surgical mutilation of children.

HHS is committed to protecting whistleblowers to the full extent of the law.

You have three options to report a tip or complaint related to the chemical and surgical mutilation of children or whistleblower retaliation:

(1) You may use the submission form on this page, which is limited to information that does not include protected health information (PHI).

(2) For any tip or complaint related to fraud, abuse, or misconduct related to Medicare, Medicaid, or other HHS programs, you may use the HHS Office of Inspector General’s (HHS-OIG) hotline or call 1-800-HHS-TIPS (1-800-447-8477). This form may be used to submit information that includes PHI. For use of the HHS-OIG’s online portal please do as follows:

Under “What is your complaint regarding?,” click “Other”.
Under “Program,” click “I don’t know”.
Under “Office name,” state “n/a”.
Complete the remaining complaint form.
Please reference EO 14187 in your complaint.

(3) For any complaint involving conscience protections, you may use the HHS Office for Civil Rights’s complaint portal.

Investigations are most successful when you provide as much information as possible about the allegation and those involved. The more you tell us, the better chance we can determine whether an investigation can be pursued.
