Our legal team has more than four decades of experience helping health care employees expose false claims and guiding them through the complex whistleblower process, all while protecting their rights and careers.
Understanding Medicare Fraud
When health care providers or medical professionals engage in fraudulent practices, they not only violate the law but also compromise patient care and waste taxpayer dollars. Our attorney team has extensive experience identifying and documenting these common schemes, such as:
- Improper billing for services not provided
- Violations of the Anti-Kickback Statute
- Upcoding or inflating charges for medical services
- Double-billing or phantom billing
- Performing unnecessary procedures
By understanding these common schemes, whistleblowers can better identify and document potential violations, strengthening their cases and increasing the likelihood of successful intervention by law enforcement.
Take A Stand Against Medical Fraud
Reporting health care fraud demands careful planning and strong legal guidance to achieve maximum impact and personal protection. When you partner with our experienced lawyers, we develop a comprehensive strategy that includes:
- Evaluating your evidence carefully before filing
- Structuring your claim to maximize protection and potential recovery
- Shielding you from workplace retaliation
- Handling all interactions with the federal government
- Fighting for your rightful whistleblower award
This methodical approach helps build a strong case while protecting your interests throughout the process.
Protection From Retaliation
Federal law provides strong protections for health care workers who report Medicare fraud. If you face criminal charges, termination, demotion, harassment or other retaliation for reporting fraud, we will aggressively defend your rights and seek compensation for any losses you’ve suffered. Our attorneys can help you document retaliatory actions, file complaints with regulatory agencies and pursue legal action against employers who violate whistleblower protection laws.
