An Attorney Who Understands Medicare/Medicaid Litigation
Medicare/Medicaid fraud occurs when hospitals, physicians or any other health care provider submits a false claim or bill to the federal government (Medicare and Medicaid). When this occurs, individuals who have knowledge of the illegal conduct can serve as “whistleblowers” for the government and provide evidence of the wrongdoing. In return for helping the government pursue these fraudulent activities — via a civil case called a qui tam claim brought under the False Claims Act — whistleblowers are also eligible to receive a portion of the funds that the government recovers.
