Medicare and Medicaid Fraud Lawyers

Medicaid and Medicare fraud make up the majority of claims brought under the false claims act.  Whistleblowers in these cases typically work in the offices of doctors, medical treatment providers, nursing homes, or group homes.  The employees are either instructed to code certain events to insure Medicaid or Medicare will cover them or they bill for services they do not provide.  Inflated claims for reimbursement, false billing, and healthcare fraud cost the taxpayers billions of dollars each year and causes healthcare costs to rise.

Low-level employees, billing coordinators and billing coders, receptionists, and other staff are typically the ones to blow the whistle on healthcare fraud.
