NC Whistleblower Attorneys Taking Cases Involving Medicare, Medicaid, and TRICARE Fraud in Nursing Homes

DURHAM, N.C., June 18, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- During the COVID-19 pandemic, fewer people are allowed inside nursing homes. Therefore, the only people who are keeping track of the quality of care at nursing homes and making sure they are accountable for their care are the people who work in the facility. The therapists, the billing specialists, the administrators, the counselors, etc., are the ones who know and can blow the whistle on fraudulent conduct.

Some of these behaviors include billing Medicare and/or Medicaid for services not performed, providing services to ineligible people, failing to comply with "best pricing" in the Medicaid program, failing to properly enroll qualified patients in a Medicaid sponsored program, submitting false claims, and many others. Click here for a full list of potential misconducts.

In bringing a federal claim, the successful whistleblower (known as the "relator") could receive anywhere from 15 to 25% of all money recovered by the government, if the government intervenes in the case and the case is successful. With state claims, a successful relator can receive up to 25% of any recovery if the Attorney General gets involved and the case is successful. On the other hand, if the government doesn't join the qui tam lawsuit, a whistleblower could potentially receive 25 to 30% of the government's recovery if the case succeeds.

Current and past nursing home employees and contractors who may have observed Medicare, Medicaid, or TRICARE fraud are encouraged to call the NC Whistleblower Attorneys at 1-844-520-2889 for a free, confidential case evaluation.
