Each year, the nationwide Medicare program loses billions of dollars due to illegal activity carried out by people and entities that deal with the program. This type of fraud impacts every taxpayer and is a significant drain on the Medicare program. Arvind Bob Khurana, a nationally recognized whistleblower attorney, helps health care workers in Alaska who have proof of Medicare scams bring civil claims against these entities on behalf of the government. Mr. Khurana and his legal team represent healthcare workers in civil whistleblower actions, ensuring their welfare and security under the federal False Claims Act.
The CMS (Center for Medicare and Medicaid Services) works with lots of private citizens, companies, and entities that administer Medicare reimbursements and process claims. They must essentially relay that these private citizens and entities remain in compliance with the laws. Unfortunately, many entities are not in compliance, and that number is growing. As a result of the government's shortage of resources and hold defrauders responsible, the government must often rely on individual healthcare workers in the market to come forward with details so they can hold those who defraud the program responsible.
"Fraud against the Medicare program may take many forms," stated Mr. Khurana. "The Fraud can include adjusting patient records so as to get paid more from Medicare, overcharging the government, providing substandard healthcare products or services, or many other things. The government depends on private whistleblowers to come forward with firsthand knowledge and evidence of these behaviors and the government rewards them for their vital assistance. Through qui tam claims, whistleblowers are able to bring civil claims against those celebrations 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 unlawful for any business entity or person to make incorrect Medicare claims or otherwise defraud the government. It likewise allows a healthcare worker with information of fraud against the Medicare program to file a whistleblower claim on behalf of the federal government. In exchange for their details and effort, the whistleblowers may be entitled to gather financial rewards of as much as 15 and 30 percent of the recuperation by the federal government. The act likewise has regulations for whistleblower protection against any company retribution which may result from submitting a case or accepting a deal with the federal government.
When a whistleblower comes forward with relevant information relating to Medicare scams, the case is submitted in federal district court. It is put 'under seal' while the Department of Justice investigates the lawsuit and the evidence, interviews potential witnesses, and talks to specialists and company workers. The federal government will then decide if it will intervene. If the government does not, the whistleblower still may continue the case by themselves.
Because healthcare employees place themselves personally at peril doing this important work, the federal False Claims Act particularly incentivizes them with a significant part of the monetary recuperation. In a successful claim, the federal government can recover as much as three times its losses as well as penalties for each incident of fraud.

"My role as a Medicare whistleblower attorney is to represent these brave private citizens, to help protect them and keep them anonymous, and to work to help ensure that they are rewarded for their work," continued Mr. Khurana. "Those healthcare employees in Alaska who have knowledge of deceitful activity can call our offices, and we would be happy to go over how whistleblower lawsuits may work and how the whistleblower is rewarded and shielded. With their valiant assistance, we can help hold Medicare fraud in check and hold those who perpetrate such fraud liable for their activities."
