DID YOU KNOW THAT MEDICARE/MEDICAID FRAUD COSTS THE GOVERNMENT NEARLY $60 BILLION A YEAR IN THE FORM OF FRAUD, WASTE, AND ABUSE? THAT MONEY IS “GRABBED” BY IMMORAL AND MALICIOUS DOCTORS, LABORATORIES, OR OTHER HEALTHCARE PROVIDERS WHO INTENTIONALLY SUBMIT FAKE CLAIMS OR FALSE INFORMATION TO OBTAIN PAYMENTS FROM MEDICARE OR MEDICAID. IF YOU ARE A HEALTHCARE WORKER SUCH AS A DOCTOR, NURSE, PHARMACIST, CODER, OR BILLER, OR YOU’RE ASSOCIATED WITH THE HEALTHCARE INDUSTRY IN ANY WAY, YOU MIGHT HAVE NOTICED MEDICARE/MEDICAID FRAUD UP CLOSE, EXECUTED BY COLLEAGUES, CLIENTS, ADMINISTRATORS, AND SO ON.

How to Report Medicare/Medicaid Fraud? You can report the fraud directly to the Office of the Inspector General at 1-800-HHS-TIPS or online. Your call to the authority will be kept confidential. You can also report to them anonymously. Alternatively, you can report Medicare/Medicaid fraud as a whistleblower under the False Claims Act (FCA). The FCA lets anyone with knowledge of scams against state or federally-funded programs bring a lawsuit on the behalf of the government. If you can provide detailed, insider information and your FCA claim is successful, you may be eligible for a reward of up to 30% of the total recovery obtained by the government.


Work With Attorney

You must work with an attorney to file an FCA lawsuit. It’s important to work with a law firm that practices consistently in this complicated area of the law. You should look for a firm with deep experience, who will take your case on contingency (i.e., who won’t ask you to pay anything upfront). A firm with a proven track record will be able to guide your case through the complicated FCA procedure to a successful resolution. You’ll have the satisfaction of doing what’s right (and saving taxpayers’ money!), and you’ll be eligible for a nice reward for your trouble. https://www.ifightforyourrights.com/
