WASHINGTON, April 20, 2016 /PRNewswire/ --The Corporate Whistleblower Center is urging a physician, nurse manager or healthcare executive to call them anytime at 866-714-6466 to discuss a collaboration focused on identifying large-scale Medicare or Medicaid fraud in their state with the motive being profit and/or assisting a potential whistleblower who has the proof but is too timid to step forward, and then partnering with potential whistleblower to share in a portion of the reward.

The targets of this state specific Medicare/Medicaid overbilling initiative are nursing homes, skilled nursing facilities, rehab centers, dialysis centers, in home healthcare, hospice services and/or hospitals. This initiative is also focused on medical device or pharmaceutical companies that are engaged in obvious stark violations. http://CorporateWhistleblowerCenter.Com

The Corporate Whistleblower Center says, "We think most medical doctors, nurse managers or healthcare executives have a very good idea of who the bad actors are in their state when it comes to Medicare or Medicaid overbilling. We are talking about the medium to large healthcare providers that routinely overcharge Medicare and or Medicaid. Our threshold is typically a million dollars in Medicare overbilling, but we think million-dollar overbilling on a state-specific basis is so commonplace that it is worth going after.

"In a recent whistleblower settlement one of the nation's largest rehab companies agreed to pay millions to settle allegations they were, among other things, 'presumptively placing patients in the highest therapy category, rather than relying on individualized evaluations to determine the level of care most suitable for each patient's clinical needs.' How many nursing homes, skilled nursing facilities, rehab centers or hospitals in your state are doing the same thing?

"If you are a medical doctor, nurse manager or healthcare executive and you might have specific information about million dollar Medicare/Medicaid fraud in your state, or you know where to find it, please give us a call anytime at 866-714-6466 and let's talk about what you know, how we might be able to help or potentially work together.

"As we've said before and will say again, whistleblowing for profit should be a very big business in the United States when it comes Medicare & Medicaid overbilling." 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 federal 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 government contractor or corporation to come clean to the government about their wrongdoing.

The Corporate Whistleblower Center is targeting medical doctors, nurse managers or healthcare executives in almost every state including New York, California, Florida, Texas, Massachusetts, Maryland, Virginia, Ohio, Pennsylvania, West Virginia, Tennessee, North Carolina, Georgia, Louisiana, Missouri, Michigan, Indiana, Illinois, Wisconsin, Minnesota, New Mexico, Colorado, Arizona, Nevada and Washington.

For more information about this state-specific whistleblower initiative, a medical doctor, nurse manager or healthcare executive is welcome to call the Corporate Whistleblower Center anytime at 866-714-6466 or they can contact the group via their web site. http://CorporateWhistleblowerCenter.Com
