Every year, the national Medicare program loses significant funds because of the illegal activity carried out by people and entities that work with the Medicare program. This type of fraud bears upon each and every taxpayer and is a huge drain on the Medicare program. Arvind Bob Khurana, a prominent whistleblower lawyer, helps health care workers in Arizona who have documentation of Medicare scams bring civil lawsuits against these parties on behalf of the government. Mr. Khurana and his legal team represent health care workers in civil whistleblower lawsuits, ensuring their safety and protection under the federal False Claims Act.

The CMS (Center for Medicare and Medicaid Services) works with many private citizens, businesses, and organizations that manage Medicare repayments and process claims. They have to trust that these individuals and businesses are in compliance with the laws. Sadly, lots of entities are not, and that number may be growing. As a result of the government's shortage of resources to police and hold cheaters accountable, the government must often rely on private healthcare employees in the industry to come forward with details so they can hold those who defraud the program liable.

"Fraud against the Medicare program can take many forms," stated Mr. Khurana. "The Fraud can be adjusting healthcare records in order to get paid more from Medicare, overcharging the government, supplying substandard product or services, or many other activities. The government counts on private whistleblowers to come forward with direct knowledge and proof of these behaviors and the government rewards the whistleblowers for their vital support. Through qui tam lawsuits, whistleblowers are able to bring civil claims against those parties on behalf of the federal government under the False Claims Act and can be rewarded for it."

The federal False Claims Act is a federal statute that renders it criminal for any entity to make incorrect Medicare claims or otherwise defraud the government. It additionally allows a medical personnel with knowledge of scams against the Medicare program to submit a whistleblower lawsuit on behalf of the government. In exchange for their information and effort, the whistleblowers may be entitled to gather benefits of as much as 15% to 30% of the fund by the federal government. The act likewise has provisions for whistleblower shield against any employer retribution that results from submitting a claim or consenting to a deal with the government.

When a whistleblower steps forward with relevant information regarding Medicare fraud, the case is filed in federal district court. It is put 'under seal' while the Department of Justice examines the complaint and the proof, interviews potential witnesses, and consults with experts and agency workers. The federal government will then choose if it will step in. If the government does not choose to participate, the whistleblower still might continue the case by themselves.

Because health care workers may put themselves at risk doing this crucial work, the federal False Claims Act particularly incentivizes the potential whistleblowers with a substantial portion of the monetary recuperation. In an effective claim, the federal government can recuperate approximately 3 times its losses to fraudulent activity in addition to penalties for each event of fraud.

"My role as a Medicare whistleblower lawyer is to represent these brave individuals, to help keep them safe and anonymous, and to work to help ensure that they are rewarded for their work," proceeded Mr. Khurana. "Those healthcare employees in Arizona who may become aware of deceptive activity can call our offices, and we would be glad to discuss how whistleblower lawsuits work and how the whistleblower is rewarded and shielded. With their valiant assistance, we can help hold Medicare fraud in control and hold those who commit such fraud responsible for their actions."
