Medicare/Medicaid Fraud Out Of Control

http://www.prweb.com/printer.php?prid=613891

One of the most effective weapons the government has for unearthing fraud against Medicare and Medicaid in the nursing home industry is the False Claims Act. The fraud is so rampant in that industry that it should be officially designated as a breeding ground for whistleblowers.

Qui Tam Lawsuit Lawyers

The American government pays trillions of dollars to companies each year for products and services. When those companies fail to deliver or overcharge for those products and services, the costs can run into billions of dollars in fraud. Fraud claim cases filed by Provost Umphrey Law Firm clients include:

When a supplier billed the federal government millions of dollars for defective helicopter parts, an employee of the company blew the whistle and $61.5 million was recovered.
When 18 large oil companies failed to pay royalties owed to the Department of the Interior, a fraud claims lawsuit recovered $300 million.

These are not isolated cases. Many such cases are discovered by people close to the fraud - employees of the companies involved. The Fraud Claims Act enables an employee (called the "relator") who discovers the fraud to file a fraud claim with the government. The employee is protected from reprisals (wrongful termination, harassment, or demotion) by the Whistleblower Protection Act. Fraud claims are often referred to as "qui tam," a shortened version of a Latin phrase:
