Each and every year, the United States Medicare program may lose significant funds because of the deceitful activity committed by individuals and entities that work with the program. This affects every taxpayer and is a huge drain on the Medicare program. Arvind Bob Khurana, a nationally recognized whistleblower attorney, helps health care employees in Alabama who have proof of Medicare fraud bring civil lawsuits against these entities on behalf of the government. Mr. Khurana and his legal team represent health care workers in civil whistleblower lawsuits, ensuring their safety and protection under the federal False Claims Act.
The CMS (Center for Medicare and Medicaid Services) works with lots of private citizens, providers, and organizations that manage Medicare repayments and process claims. The CMS has to essentially rely on that these people and companies are in compliance with the rules. Sadly, lots of are not, and that number is increasing. As a result of the government's lack of resources and hold cheaters accountable, the government must often rely on private health care employees in the market to come forward with details so they can hold those who defraud the program responsible.
"Fraud against the Medicare program may take many forms," said Mr. Khurana. "The Fraud can include adjusting patient records so as to get paid more from Medicare, overcharging the government, supplying low-quality healthcare services or products, or many other things. The government relies on private whistleblowers to come forward with firsthand knowledge and proof of these behaviors and the government rewards the whistleblowers for their vital assistance. Through qui tam claims, whistleblowers are able to bring civil claims against those parties on behalf of the federal government under the False Claims Act and can be rewarded for it."
The federal False Claims Act is a federal law that renders it unlawful for any business entity or person to make false Medicare claims or otherwise defraud the federal government. It also enables a medical worker with knowledge of scams against the Medicare program to submit a whistleblower lawsuit on behalf of the federal government. In exchange for their information and effort, the whistleblowers are entitled to gather incentives of as much as 15% to 30% of the recovery by the government. The act likewise has arrangements for whistleblower shield against any employer retaliation that results from filing a claim or agreeing to work with the federal government.
When a whistleblower steps forward with information concerning Medicare fraud, the case is filed in federal district court. It is put 'under seal' while the Department of Justice examines the claim and the proof, speaks with witnesses, and seeks advice from with specialists and agency workers. The federal government will then choose if it will participate in the lawsuit. If it does not choose to step in, the whistleblower still might continue the case by themselves.
Because healthcare employees put themselves at risk doing this crucial work, the federal False Claims Act highly incentivizes the potential whistleblowers with a significant part of the monetary recuperation. In a successful claim, the government can recover up to 3 times its losses to fraudulent activity in addition to penalties for each occurrence of scams.
"My job as a Medicare whistleblower lawyer is to represent these brave people, to help protect them and keep them anonymous, and to work to help ensure that they are rewarded for their efforts," proceeded Mr. Khurana. "Those healthcare workers in Alabama who may become aware of fraudulent activity can call our firm, and we would be glad to discuss how whistleblower cases work and how the whistleblower is rewarded and protected. With their courageous assistance, we can help hold Medicare scams in control and hold those who perpetrate such fraud liable for their activities."
