Corporate Whistleblower Center Now Urges a Physician to Call Them About Significant Rewards If They Have Proof a Healthcare Company Is Substantially Ripping Off Medicare With Overbilling

In June 2017, the Justice Department announced that a national healthcare company and their affiliates will pay the federal government $53,639,288.04, including interest, to settle lawsuits and investigations alleging that companies and facilities violated the False Claims Act by causing the submission of false claims to government healthcare programs for medically unnecessary therapy and hospice services, and grossly substandard nursing care.

Allegedly the companies were also billing for hospice services for patients who were not terminally ill and so were not eligible for the Medicare hospice benefit and billing inappropriately for certain physician evaluation management services. Additionally, the settlement resolves allegations the healthcare company and their affiliates violated certain essential requirements that nursing homes are required to meet to participate in and receive reimbursements from government healthcare programs and failed to provide sufficient nurse staffing to meet residents' needs. The whistleblowers will receive a combined $9.67 million as their share of the recovery in this case.

The Corporate Whistleblower Center says, "We are certain there are physicians in every state who can prove a healthcare company is involved in a big-time scheme to overbill Medicare. It might be a hospital admitting Medicare patients who should not have been admitted, a nursing home billing Medicare as if their Medicare patients are receiving the proper care-when they are not, or a hospice company signing up patients who are not dying. If you possess this type of information please call us at 866-714-6466 and let's discuss the reward potential of your information. Why sit on a winning lotto ticket without ever knowing what it could be worth?" http://CorporateWhistleblowerCenter.Com

Simple rules for a whistleblower from the Corporate Whistleblower Center: Do not go to the government first if you are a major whistleblower. The Corporate Whistleblower Center says, "Major whistleblowers frequently go to the government thinking they will help. It's a huge mistake. Do not go to the news media with your whistleblower information. Public revelation of a whistleblower's information could destroy any prospect for a reward. Do not try to force a healthcare company to come clean if they are involved in a scheme to overbill Medicare. Come to us first, tell us what type of information you have, and if we think it's sufficient, we will help find the right law firms to assist in advancing your information."

The Corporate Whistleblower Center wants to emphasize there are high quality whistleblowers in every state including California, New York, New Jersey, Florida, Texas, Massachusetts, Maryland, Rhode Island, Virginia, Ohio, Pennsylvania, West Virginia, Tennessee, North Carolina, Georgia, Alabama, Mississippi, Louisiana, Missouri, Illinois, Indiana, Wisconsin, Minnesota, North Dakota, Nebraska, Colorado, Utah, Arizona, Idaho, Nevada, Washington, or Alaska.
