Corporate Whistleblower Center Takes on Drug Rehab Centers or Mental Health Providers Billing Medicare/Medicaid for Medically Unnecessary Treatments and Urges Employees to Call About Rewards
WASHINGTON, July 3, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- According to the Corporate Whistleblower Center, "In our book there are few things lower than a healthcare company gouging Medicare or Medicaid with bills for medically unnecessary treatments for drug addicts or for people who are mentally ill. If you work for a drug treatment center or a company providing mental health services and you can prove your employer is ripping off Medicare or Medicaid please call us at 866-714-6466 so we can discuss the potential whistleblower reward value of your information. It is worth your time to talk to us if you have this type of information. Recently a whistleblower received $300,000 for this type of information." http://CorporateWhistleblower.Com
On June 5th, 2018 the Justice Department announced a post-acute healthcare management firm agreed to pay more than $1.7 million to resolve False Claims Act allegations they caused other hospitals to submit, claims for reimbursement from Medicare for services that were not medically reasonable or necessary. The Justice Department alleged the healthcare management firm's individual patients progress was not being adequately tracked or documented, the patients received an inappropriate level of treatment, and the therapy provided was primarily recreational or diversional, and was not considered therapeutic. A former employee received $300,000 for exposing these practices.
The Corporate Whistleblower Center would like to hear from healthcare workers about possible rewards if they have proof of the following types of information:
- A drug rehab center admits drug addicts who have Medicaid or Medicare, the center provides no treatment for their patients aside from a place to sleep and eat, yet the center bills Medicaid or Medicare the maximum amount possible including for treatment or counseling services that never happened.
- A mental healthcare provider signs up Medicaid or Medicare patients for mental health services but essentially provides no services aside from a secure place to stay and eat. As soon as the Medicaid or Medicare benefits run out the mental healthcare provider discharges their patients-no services outside of food or shelter were ever given.
The Corporate Whistleblower Center says, "We are incredibly serious about healthcare workers getting rewarded if they have proof their employer is involved in substantial Medicare, or Medicaid overbilling. If you possess this type of information, please give us a call at 866-714-6466 and let's have a confidential conversation about the potential value of your information. Why sit on a potentially huge winning lotto ticket without ever knowing what it might be worth?" http://CorporateWhistleblower.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 company or individual to come clean stark on anti-kickback laws or overbilling 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." http://CorporateWhistleblower.Com
