Each year, the United States Medicare program may lose significant funds due to deceitful activity performed by people and organizations that deal with the Medicare program. This may affect every taxpayer and is a significant drain on the Medicare program. Arvind Bob Khurana, a nationally recognized whistleblower attorney, helps healthcare workers in Idaho who have proof of Medicare scams bring civil suits against these parties on behalf of the government. Mr. Khurana and his legal team represent healthcare employees in civil whistleblower actions, ensuring their welfare and protection under the federal False Claims Act.
The CMS (Center for Medicare and Medicaid Services) works with many people, companies, and organizations that manage Medicare compensations and file claims. The CMS must rely that these individuals and entities remain in compliance with the rules. Sadly, lots of entities are not in compliance, and that number is growing. Considering the government's shortage of resources to police and hold defrauders liable, the government has to rely on individual health care employees 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," said Mr. Khurana. "It can be adjusting patient records so as to earn more from Medicare, surcharging the government, providing second-rate healthcare services or products, or many other activities. The government counts on private whistleblowers to come forward with firsthand knowledge and documentation of dishonest activities and the government rewards them for their crucial support. Through qui tam suits, whistleblowers have the ability to bring civil claims against those celebrations on behalf of the government under the False Claims Act and can be rewarded for it."
The federal False Claims Act is a federal law that renders it illegal for anyone to make incorrect Medicare claims or otherwise defraud the federal government. It also makes it possible for a healthcare personnel 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 are entitled to gather incentives of between 15 to 30% of the recovery by the federal government. The act additionally has stipulations for whistleblower shield against any employer retribution which may result from filing a claim or consenting to work with the government.
When a whistleblower steps forward with relevant information concerning Medicare fraud, the case is submitted in federal district court. It is put 'under seal' while the Department of Justice investigates the lawsuit and the proof, speaks with witnesses, and seeks advice from with specialists and company workers. The federal government will then choose if it will step in. If the government does not choose to participate, the whistleblower still may continue the case by themselves.
Due to the fact that health care employees place themselves at risk doing this important work, the federal False Claims Act particularly incentivizes them with a significant part of the financial recovery. In a successful claim, the federal government can recover as much as 3 times its losses in addition to penalties for each incident of scams.
