Each year, the national Medicare program may lose billions of dollars due to deceptive activity performed by individuals and entities that work with the program. This type of activity impacts each and every taxpayer and is a big drain on the Medicare program. Arvind Bob Khurana, a nationally recognized whistleblower attorney, helps health care employees in Hawaii who may have proof of Medicare fraud bring civil suits against these entities on behalf of the government. Mr. Khurana and his legal group represent healthcare workers in civil whistleblower actions, ensuring their safety and protection under the federal False Claims Act.
The CMS (Center for Medicare and Medicaid Services) works with many individuals, providers, and entities that administer Medicare compensations and file claims. The CMS needs to ultimately trust that individuals and entities remain in compliance with the regulations. Unfortunately, lots of entities are not in compliance, and that number is getting bigger. Considering the government's lack of resources and hold defrauders liable, it must depend on individual health care employees in the industry to come forward with info so they can hold those who defraud the program liable.
"Fraud against the Medicare program may take many forms," said Mr. Khurana. "The Fraud can include adjusting healthcare records in order to earn more from Medicare, overcharging the government, providing subpar healthcare services or products, or many other activities. The government counts on private whistleblowers to come forward with firsthand knowledge and documentation of this conduct and the government rewards them for their critical help. Through qui tam suits, 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 statute that makes it criminal for anybody to make incorrect Medicare claims or otherwise defraud the government. It additionally enables a health care worker with knowledge of fraud against the Medicare program to submit a whistleblower lawsuit on behalf of the government. In exchange for their information and effort, the whistleblowers may be entitled to collect financial rewards of as much as 15% to 30% of the recovered fund by the federal government. The act also has regulations for whistleblower security against any employer retribution that may result from submitting a claim or accepting a deal with the federal government.
When a whistleblower comes forward with information and facts relating to Medicare fraud, the case is submitted to a federal district court. It is put 'under seal' while the Department of Justice investigates the claim and the proof, interviews witnesses, and seeks advice from professionals and firm workers. The federal government will then choose if it will participate in the lawsuit. If the government does not, the whistleblower still might continue the case by themselves.
Due to the fact that healthcare workers put themselves in jeopardy doing this crucial work, the federal False Claims Act strongly incentivizes them with a significant part of the financial recuperation. In a successful claim, the government can recuperate approximately 3 times its losses in addition to penalties for each incident of fraud.

"My role as a Medicare whistleblower attorney is to represent these brave people, 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 Hawaii who know of deceitful activity can call our office, and we would be glad to talk about how whistleblower lawsuits work and how the whistleblower may be rewarded and shielded. With their courageous support, we can help hold Medicare fraud in control and hold those who commit such scams responsible for their activities."
