What exactly qualifies as Medicare fraud?

Medicare fraud is a serious crime in which individuals or companies actively defraud the Medicare program in order to earn unlawful payments. This illicit action not only affects the integrity of the healthcare system, but it also causes huge financial losses for taxpayers. We define Medicare fraud as any purposeful attempt to obtain cash from the Medicare program under false pretenses.

Examples include paying for treatments or procedures that were never provided, faking patient diagnoses to justify unneeded tests, and upcoding, which includes charging for more expensive services than those actually supplied. In addition, certain healthcare providers may engage in kickbacks, which involve receiving illicit payments in exchange for patient referrals or other perks. Medicare fraud affects everyone since it raises healthcare prices and diverts cash away from individuals who truly require medical care.

Is it possible to report Medicare fraud anonymously?

Yes, you can file an anonymous Medicare fraud report. At The Whistleblower Advocates, we realize how important it is to protect your identity, especially when taking action against strong companies engaged in fraudulent activity. You may help prevent Medicare fraud by reporting anonymously. However, it is crucial to note that while anonymous reporting is feasible, it may limit certain legal rights and make claiming potential cash benefits more difficult.

Whistleblowers who report fraud through a qui tam case may be entitled to a percentage of the monies recovered under the False Claims Act. To collect this compensation, your identify may be revealed during the legal process. The Whistleblower Advocates specializes in assisting persons in navigating the intricacies of reporting Medicare fraud.
