Each year, the nationwide Medicare program may lose billions of dollars because of the fraudulent activity committed by people and companies that deal with this program. This type of illegal activity may affect each and every taxpayer and is a big drain on the Medicare program. Arvind Bob Khurana, an experienced whistleblower lawyer, helps health care employees in Alabama who have evidence of Medicare fraud bring civil claims against these entities on behalf of the government. Mr. Khurana and his legal group represent health care employees in civil whistleblower actions, ensuring their safety and security under the federal False Claims Act.
The CMS (Center for Medicare and Medicaid Services) works with numerous individuals, businesses, and organizations that administer Medicare compensations and file claims. They have to ultimately trust that individuals and entities are in compliance with the regulations. Sadly, many are not in compliance, and that number may be getting bigger. Considering the government's lack of resources to police and hold cheaters accountable, it has to often rely on individual healthcare employees in the market to come forward with details so they can hold those who defraud the program responsible.
"Fraud against the Medicare program can take many forms," stated Mr. Khurana. "The Fraud can be manipulating patient records to earn more from Medicare, overcharging the government, supplying second-rate product or services, and many other activities. The government counts on private whistleblowers to come forward with firsthand knowledge and proof of this conduct and the government rewards them for their crucial assistance. Through qui tam claims, whistleblowers are able to bring civil claims against those parties on behalf of the 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 anyone to make false Medicare claims or otherwise defraud the government. It additionally allows healthcare personnel with information of fraud against the Medicare program to file a whistleblower suit on behalf of the federal government. In exchange for their info and effort, the whistleblowers may be entitled to gather financial rewards of between 15 and 30 percent of the funds recovered by the government. The act also has regulations for whistleblower security against any employer retribution which may result from filing a suit or consenting to work with the federal government.
When a whistleblower comes forward with relevant information concerning Medicare scams, the case is filed in federal district court. It is put 'under seal' while the Department of Justice investigates the complaint and the evidence, interviews potential witnesses, and seeks advice from specialists and firm workers. The federal government will then decide if it will participate in the lawsuit. If the government does not, the whistleblower still may continue the case by themselves.
Due to the fact that healthcare employees may put themselves in jeopardy doing this important work, the federal False Claims Act particularly incentivizes them with a substantial portion of the monetary recuperation. In an effective claim, the federal government can recover up to three times its losses to fraudulent activity in addition to charges for each event of fraud.

"My job 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 compensated for their work," continued Mr. Khurana. "Those healthcare employees in Alabama who may become aware of fraudulent activity can call our office, and we would be glad to talk about how whistleblower cases work and how the whistleblower is rewarded and protected. With their valiant help, we can help hold Medicare fraud in check and hold those who commit fraud liable for their activities."
