Each year, the United States Medicare program may lose significant funds due to deceptive activity committed by people and companies that deal with this program. This type of fraud bears upon each and every taxpayer and is a substantial drain on the Medicare program. Arvind Bob Khurana, a prominent whistleblower attorney, helps healthcare employees in Florida who have documentation of Medicare fraud bring civil legal actions against these entities on behalf of the government. Mr. Khurana and his legal group represent healthcare employees in civil whistleblower lawsuits, ensuring their welfare and protection under the federal False Claims Act.
The CMS (Center for Medicare and Medicaid Services) works with many private citizens, providers, and organizations that manage Medicare compensations and process claims. The CMS needs to ultimately trust that people and entities remain in compliance with the rules. Sadly, lots of are not in compliance, and that number is increasing. As a result of the government's lack of resources and hold cheaters accountable, the government has to depend on individual healthcare employees in the market to come forward with information so they can hold those who defraud the program accountable.
"Fraud against the Medicare program can take many forms," said Mr. Khurana. "The Fraud can include adjusting healthcare records so as to get paid more from Medicare, overcharging the government, supplying second-rate healthcare products or services, or many other activities. The government relies on private whistleblowers to come forward with firsthand knowledge and evidence of dishonest activities and the government compensates the whistleblowers for their important help. Through qui tam suits, whistleblowers have the ability to bring civil claims against those celebrations 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 unlawful for any entity to make false Medicare claims or otherwise defraud the government. It also allows a healthcare employee with information of fraudulent activity against the Medicare program to file a whistleblower claim on behalf of the federal government. In exchange for their info and effort, the whistleblowers are entitled to gather incentives of as much as 15 to 30% of the funds recovered by the federal government. The act additionally has stipulations for whistleblower security against any employer retribution which may result from filing a claim or consenting to work with the government.
When a whistleblower comes forward with evidence concerning Medicare scams, the case is submitted in federal district court. It is put 'under seal' while the Department of Justice examines the lawsuit and the proof, interviews witnesses, and seeks advice from specialists and company personnel. The government will then choose if it will step in. If it does not, the whistleblower still may continue the case by themselves.
Since health care workers place themselves personally at risk doing this crucial work, the federal False Claims Act particularly incentivizes the potential whistleblowers with a significant part of the monetary recuperation. In a successful claim, the government can recover as much as 3 times its losses to fraudulent activity as well as charges for each event of scams.

"My role as a Medicare whistleblower attorney 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," continued Mr. Khurana. "Those healthcare employees in Florida who may become aware of deceitful activity can call our office, and we would be happy to discuss how whistleblower lawsuits may work and how the whistleblower is rewarded and protected. With their courageous support, we can help hold Medicare fraud in check and hold those who perpetrate such scams responsible for their actions."
