| It's the Right Thing to Do - Whistleblowers Help The Public
- Protecting Patients: The False Claims Act discourages
companies from selling unsafe medical equipment and technologies and discourages
doctors and hospitals from performing unnecessary surgeries and procedures.
By providing disincentives for medical fraud, the False Claims Act saves
lives.
- Protecting Consumers: The False Claims Act discourages
companies from shorting consumers on the numbers of pills purchased, repackaging
old medicines and presenting them as new, and charging consumers more than
what they should be paying for health care equipment, procedures and medicines.
By helping ferret out fraud, the False Claims Act not only works to contain
health care costs, it also helps consumers save money.
- Protecting Soldiers: The False Claims Act discourages
government contractors from supplying guidance systems that do not guide,
weapons that do not fire, and helicopters that crash. By helping ensure that
our soldiers, airmen and sailors have equipment that operates in the field,
the False Claims Act saves lives and makes us a stronger nation.
- Protecting Senior Citizens and the Disabled: The False
Claim Act discourages nursing homes from delivering substandard care to nursing
home patients, and price-gouging the Medicaid program for goods and services.
By bolstering the financial integrity of Medicaid, the False Claims Act helps
protects America's oldest, poorest and most vulnerable.
- Protecting the Environment: The False Claim Act discourages
oil, timber and mining companies from ripping off U.S. taxpayers by extracting
resources from public lands without adequately paying for that right. In
addition, the False Claims Act is a powerful disincentive for companies to
lie to the federal government about toxic waste cleanup and pollution abatement
efforts. By helping to put more teeth into our environmental protection laws,
the False Claims Act works to protect our natural environment for generations
to come.
Our firm is only investigating claims in which a business
entity, such as a company or medical practice, is submitting false claims
to a governmental entity. We do not handle cases involving individuals receiving
government benefits under false pretenses. (For example, we do not handle
claims in which a person falsely claims a disability in order to receive government
benefits.) For these types of claims, you should contact the appropriate government
agency directly, such as Medicaid, and report the fraud. IRS Tax Fraud must
