Each year, the nationwide Medicare program loses significant funds because of the illegal activity committed by individuals and entities that deal with the program. This type of activity bears upon each and every taxpayer and is a big drain on the Medicare program. Arvind Bob Khurana, an experienced whistleblower lawyer, helps healthcare employees in Delaware who may have evidence of Medicare fraud bring civil lawsuits against these parties on behalf of the government. Mr. Khurana and his legal group represent healthcare workers in civil whistleblower lawsuits, ensuring their safety and security under the federal False Claims Act.
The CMS (Center for Medicare and Medicaid Services) contracts with numerous individuals, companies, and entities that administer Medicare reimbursements and file claims. The CMS needs to rely that these private citizens and entities are in compliance with the laws. Sadly, lots of are not in compliance, and that number is getting bigger. Considering the government's shortage of resources and hold cheaters responsible, it has to depend on individual health care workers in the market to come forward with info so they can hold those who defraud the program responsible.
"Fraud against the Medicare program may take many forms," stated Mr. Khurana. "It can be adjusting patient records to earn more from Medicare, surcharging the government, supplying subpar product or services, and many other activities. The government counts on private whistleblowers to come forward with direct knowledge and proof of fraudulent activities and the government rewards the whistleblowers for their important support. Through qui tam suits, whistleblowers have the ability 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 statute that renders it illegal for anybody to make false Medicare claims or otherwise defraud the federal government. It additionally allows a health care worker with knowledge of fraudulent activity against the Medicare program to file a whistleblower claim on behalf of the federal government. In exchange for their information and effort, the whistleblowers are entitled to collect benefits of between 15% to 30% of the recuperation by the federal government. The act additionally has arrangements for whistleblower safeguards against any company retaliation which may result from filing a suit or accepting a deal with the government.
When a whistleblower comes forward with evidence regarding Medicare fraud, 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 consults with professionals and agency personnel. The federal government will then choose if it will intervene. If the government does not choose to participate, the whistleblower still may continue the case on their own.
Since healthcare employees may place themselves personally at jeopardy doing this crucial work, the federal False Claims Act highly incentivizes the potential whistleblowers with a considerable part of the financial recuperation. In an effective claim, the federal government can recuperate as much as 3 times its losses as well as charges for each occurrence of fraud.
