The Department of Justice, the Center for Medicare and Medicaid Services, the FBI, and the Office of Inspector General for the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services investigate qui tam lawsuits reporting Medicare fraud.

Documentary evidence is not required, but it can play an important role in your case. Records of improper charges, emails stating fraudulent claims, or in-office memos can be helpful, however, there are important factors to consider before retaining company documents. Our qui tam attorneys are experienced in evaluating the evidence of Medicare fraud you have and in navigating the rules about disclosure that ensure your rights are protected.

Reporting fraud without filing a whistleblower lawsuit may fail to attract serious government attention and also may forfeit some of the protections and incentives you are entitled to as a whisteblower. To ensure your claim is taken seriously and protect your rights, it’s best to formally file a claim in court and include evidence of the misconduct under the False Claims Act.
