Do You Have a Healthcare Fraud Case Under the False Claims Act?

The qui tam provisions of the False Claims Act have been used by whistleblowers to recover billions of dollars of Government funds taken through all sorts of healthcare fraud schemes against the Medicare, Medicaid, and TRICARE programs. For over 20 years, VSG qui tam attorneys have been successfully representing whistleblowers in healthcare fraud cases.

There are many different kinds of healthcare fraud schemes. For example, a provider might be “upcoding” services, i.e., billing for medical services that should have been billed at a lower reimbursement level than what was actually billed. Or, a provider, such as a hospital or physician, might be rendering healthcare services that were not medically necessary or appropriate.

Conversely, in long term care settings in which providers are paid a daily rate to deliver all care necessary to treat their patients, a provider may systematically fail to deliver medically necessary care to its patients.

Another type of health care fraud is when a provider bills a Government program for health care services which were provided to beneficiaries, but which should not have been paid for by Medicare or Medicaid because the provider was violating an important rule, such as the Anti-Kickback Statute, or the “Stark” law against self-referrals.
