False Claims Act: Medicare Fraud

As False Claims Act attorneys, one potential area for fraud against the Government is Medicare fraud.  Our team of qui tam lawyers stand ready to discuss Medicare fraud with you.

Medicare processes over one billion fee-for-service claims per year through its contracts with regional insurance companies. Given the enormous volume of claims submitted under the Medicare and Medicaid programs, it is not surprising that the federal and state governments are not sufficiently staffed to effectively detect the fraud and abuse perpetrated by dishonest healthcare providers and medical goods providers. These dishonest healthcare provider cost honest taxpayers and the United States Government money in the form of unnecessary goods and services provided; unbundled and upcoded/upcharged medical supplies and services, and more. Medicare and Medicaid lose an estimated $60 billion or more annually to fraud, making fraud on these programs one of the most profitable crimes in America. It is no surprise that since 1990, the Government Accountability Office has labeled Medicare a high-risk program.
