Each and every year, the nationwide Medicare program loses billions of dollars due to deceptive activity performed by private citizens and companies that work with the Medicare program. This type of activity affects every taxpayer and is a substantial drain on the Medicare program. Arvind Bob Khurana, an experienced whistleblower lawyer, helps health care employees in Connecticut who may have documentation of Medicare fraud bring civil claims against these parties on behalf of the government. Mr. Khurana and his legal group represent health care workers in civil whistleblower actions, ensuring their safety and security under the federal False Claims Act.
The CMS (Center for Medicare and Medicaid Services) contracts with many individuals, businesses, and organizations that manage Medicare reimbursements and file claims. The CMS must ultimately trust that private citizens and companies are in compliance with the rules. Unfortunately, numerous are not, and that number is getting bigger. Because of the government's lack of resources to police and hold defrauders responsible, the government has to often count on individual 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 can take many forms," said Mr. Khurana. "It can include manipulating healthcare records to earn more from Medicare, surcharging the government, providing second-rate healthcare services or products, and many other activities. The government counts on private whistleblowers to come forward with direct knowledge and evidence of these behaviors and the government rewards them for their important help. Through qui tam suits, whistleblowers are able to bring civil claims against those parties on behalf of the government under the False Claims Act and can be rewarded for it."
The federal False Claims Act is a federal statute that makes it illegal for anybody to make false Medicare claims or otherwise defraud the government. It likewise allows a medical worker with knowledge of scams against the Medicare program to file a whistleblower legal action on behalf of the federal government. In exchange for their info and effort, the whistleblowers are entitled to gather incentives of between 15 and 30 percent of the recuperation by the federal government. The act likewise has stipulations for whistleblower security against any company retaliation that results from filing a case or consenting to work with the federal government.
When a whistleblower steps forward with relevant information relating to Medicare scams, the case is submitted to a federal district court. It is put 'under seal' while the Department of Justice investigates the lawsuit and the evidence, interviews potential witnesses, and seeks advice from experts and company personnel. The federal government will then decide if it will participate in the lawsuit. If it does not choose to participate, the whistleblower still may continue the case on their own.
Since health care employees place themselves at risk doing this crucial work, the federal False Claims Act highly incentivizes the potential whistleblowers with a considerable part of the financial recuperation. In a successful claim, the federal government can recover as much as 3 times its losses to fraudulent activity in addition to penalties for each occurrence of scams.

"My purpose as a Medicare whistleblower lawyer is to represent these brave individuals, to help keep them safe and anonymous, and to work hard that they are rewarded for their efforts," proceeded Mr. Khurana. "Those health care workers in Connecticut who know of fraudulent activity can call our firm, and we would be glad to go over how whistleblower cases may work and how the whistleblower may be rewarded and shielded. With their valiant support, we can help hold Medicare fraud in control and hold those who commit it accountable for their actions."
