Medicaid Fraud Whistleblower Rewards

If you know that your employer is submitting false claims to Medicaid or Medicare, then you have an important decision to make:
  • you can wait until the FBI shows up at your front door and accuses you of being involved in the fraud,
  • or you can earn a substantial reward and legal protections as a whistleblower under the False Claims Act.
An experienced False Claims Act attorney can help you.  The initial consultation is free and confidential.  No attorneys fees are charged unless the case is won.

Call John Howley, Esq. at (212) 601-2728 to arrange a free and confidential consultation or click here to contact our law offices via email.

Following Orders is Not a Defense

When the government prosecutes Medicare and Medicaid fraud, it goes after everyone involved.  The stories of employees who go to prison because they went along with their employer's fraud are heartbreaking.  For example:
  • a nurse and intake specialist face five years in prison for helping a mental health facility bill Medicaid and Medicare for unnecessary services;
  • a physician's assistant faces five years in prison for going along with his employer's use of pre-signed prescription forms;
  • a registered nurse faces 30 months in prison for signing false medical records;
  • a public administrator faces five years in prison for submitting false Medicaid applications for wards of the state.
Do not go to prison for someone else's fraud.  If you know that false claims are being submitted to Medicaid or Medicare, you should consult an experienced False Claims Act attorney immediately to protect your rights.

How to Earn a Whistleblower Reward

The government pays whistleblowers a reward of up to 30% of the amount it recovers.  In Medicare and Medicaid fraud cases, it is not unusual for these rewards to total hundreds of thousands or even millions of dollars.

Here is how it works.  An experienced False Claims Act attorney will listen to what you know and review any evidence you have.  If you have a case, your attorney will prepare a complaint and a disclosure statement for the prosecutor.  The complaint will be filed under seal (in secret), and it will remain under seal while the government investigates the case and decides whether or not to pursue it.

If the government wins the case, you will be entitled to a reward of between 15% and 30% of the amount the government recovers from the defendants.
