Medicaid & Medicare Fraud - Whistleblower Cases

Medicaid and Medicare fraud is more common than many people may think.

This type of fraud means a medical provider – doctor, dentist, hospital, hospice care provider or nursing home – makes a fraudulent reimbursement claim.

Board Certified Health Law Attorney George Indest says:
"Billing for unnecessary procedures and medical tests, or procedures that are never performed, or for unnecessary equipment are the most common types of Medicare or Medicaid fraud. This violates the False Claims Act and permits whistleblowers' complaints."

Violators of the False Claims Act are liable for three times the dollar amount that the government is defrauded and civil penalties of $5,000 to $10,000 for each false claim. A whistle blower plaintiff can receive between 15 and 30 percent of the total recovery from the defendant, whether through a favorable judgment or settlement.
