Medicare fraud claims can be pursued under the False Claims Act (FCA), which allows anyone with knowledge of fraud against the government to bring a lawsuit on the government’s behalf. As long as the alleged fraud targeted a government program, and has not already been publicly disclosed, the fraudulent activity is likely to be actionable under the FCA. The first step in becoming a Medicare whistleblower is hiring an attorney experienced in filing whistleblower complaints. Lawsuits brought under the FCA follow a unique set of procedures, so it’s crucial to hire an attorney who can help you navigate the process and present your strongest case to the government. Indeed, the government will generally dismiss whistleblower complaints brought under the FCA if the whistleblower is not represented by an attorney.
