Whistleblower, Qui Tam Lawsuit: Healthcare, Pharma, Financial – How to Report Fraud
topclassactions.com/lawsuit-settlements/lawsuit-news/1497...
Who’s Affected?
Have you witnessed your employer committing fraud in government programs like Medicare, military contracts, or others? If so, whistleblowers can earn large cash rewards if they are the first to report the fraud in a False Claims Act lawsuit, also known as a “qui tam” lawsuit or whistleblower lawsuit.
Pharmacists, billing pros, healthcare employees, financial consultants and other insiders have earned more than $1 billion in whistleblower awards.
With help from employees reporting fraud in whistleblower lawsuits, taxpayers have recovered billions of dollars from companies involved in Medicare Fraud, Financial Fraud, Flawed Pharmaceutical Products, Tax Fraud, Government Contracts, Physician/Hospital Kickbacks and other misconduct.
Whistle blower reports are a powerful tool to help stop fraud and help the government recover some of its losses.
In exchange, whistleblowers will typically be rewarded with 15 to 30 percent of what the whistleblower lawsuit recovers.
Whistleblower lawyers are actively seeking people who may have witnessed fraud committed against the government. Find out if you have a case by filling out the confidential form on this page now.
Overview: What Types of Fraud Are Committed Against the Government?
Medicare or Medicaid Health Care Billing Fraud
Healthcare billing fraud, through Medicare, Medicaid or other government program, occurs when a healthcare provider bills for unnecessary services or services never received by a Medicare patient.
Medicare or Medicaid fraud is usually committed by hospitals, physicians, pharmacies, medical product or medical device providers, labs, ambulance transport companies, home healthcare agencies or other medical provider that bills a government program for medical products or services.
Examples of healthcare fraud may include:
Fraudulent upcoding in medical billing.
An ambulance company claiming emergency services for a simple transport or entering into a kickback arrangement with hospitals.
Overcharging for medical goods or healthcare services.
Kickback or illegal referral arrangements between providers.
Providing services that are not medically necessary.
Claiming and billing for services provided by a physician when the care was provided by a less qualified employee.
If you believe you have witnessed Medicare fraud or health insurance fraud, you may qualify to file a whistle blower lawsuit against your employer on behalf of the government. Fill out the form on this page now for a FREE case evaluation.
Government Procurement and Military Contract Fraud
Government contractor fraud occurs when companies contracting with a government agency or the military do any of the following:
Overcharge for goods or services.
Perform sub-standard work or substituting lower quality materials than promised.
Bill for services not performed.
Provide inaccurate information about completion, quality, or timeliness of contract work.
Government contractors involved in whistleblower lawsuits include defense (military) contractors, security or environmental contractors, or any other company cheating on their agreements with the Federal or State government.
Other Fraud Types: SEC Corporate Fraud, IRS Whistleblower Statute & More
If your employer is involved in securities – stock fraud, the Securities Exchange Commission or the “SEC” has a whistleblower statute that rewards people who report corporate fraud and protect them with anti-retaliation rules.
IRS tax fraud — when companies do not pay the IRS taxes they owe or are involved in a scheme to avoid taxes — is covered by the IRS whistleblower rules. If the fraud is substantial the Internal Revenue Service pays tax whistle blower rewards.
What is a Whistleblower Lawsuit/Qui Tam Lawsuit?
Whistleblower lawsuits are the only way to report fraud and collect a cash reward under the U.S. False Claims Act and the 31 State False Claims Acts, including New York, Florida, Texas, and California False Claims Acts.
Warning to Tipsters: If you call and report fraud directly to the government you will not be eligible for a reward beyond a small amount. The only way to earn a cash reward under the False Claims Act is to file a whistleblower lawsuit.
Qui tam lawsuits are lawsuits filed by whistleblowers under the False Claims Act. A qui tam lawsuit is filed by an individual or another company that claims another company has defrauded the government in some way.
The person who files a qui tam lawsuit is called the “relator,” commonly known as the whistleblower. A relator may be an employee, former employee, a competitor, or another contractor or subcontractor who has some knowledge of the alleged fraud.
Qui tam lawsuits cannot be based on public information, unless the whistle blower is the source of the public information. The whistle blower is considered the original source of the allegations.
The False Claim Act dates back to the Civil War and was signed by President Abraham Lincoln to protect against fraud against the government. It has been amended several times since then to accommodate a variety of situations.
How Do You File a Whistleblower Lawsuit?
Qui tam lawsuits are sent directly to the Justice Department for review. They are kept confidential while the government investigates whether or not the allegations are valid. It also gives the government a chance to decide if it wants to join the lawsuit.
This is done before the company being charged is informed about the qui tam lawsuit. The government has 60 days to review the lawsuit, but this time is often extended.
The identity of the whistleblower is protected while the complaint is “sealed” and the Department of Justice investigates. In SEC cases the whistleblower’s name is typically never revealed.
The first whistleblower to file the qui tam lawsuit is the one that will be considered by the court, even if another one contains more detail. This is designed to encourage potential whistleblowers not to hesitate to file their whistleblower lawsuits. So it is critical to speak with a whistleblower lawyer as soon as possible to learn your rights.

What Do Whistleblowers Receive as an Award?
Whistleblowers may receive 15 to 30 percent of the amount of money that the government recovers as a result of the qui tam lawsuit per the U.S. False Claims Act and also the 31 state False Claims Acts that come into play when the government agency that was financially damaged was a state government.
In 2014 and 2015 more than $500 million were paid to whistle blowers each year as rewards ranging in amounts from $75,000 to more than $50 million.
What Job Protections Exist for Whistleblowers?
There are anti-retaliation laws protecting whistleblowers who blow the whistle on their own employer or another company. These individuals are provided whistleblower protection under the U.S. False Claims Act, state False Claims Acts, and the IRS and SEC statutes.
Whistle blowers are protected against retaliation which includes being fired, demoted or harassed. Penalties for such retaliation include reinstatement and substantial damages. These amounts are in addition to anything received as a cash reward.

While on a errand today we spotted this TARC bus parked, idling, both to and from our destination. aka Running. No driver at the wheel. For at least 1/2 hour.
Transit Authority of River City
1000 W Broadway, Louisville, KY 40203
Phone: (502) 585-1234
This stop is the "end of the line" (or the beginning however one looks at it). When I was attempting to learn the bus lines a while back (didn't turn out well) there was a lady driver who'd sit at the driver's seat having her lunch. If you went near the bus while she was having lunch she'd bark your head off. Once I dropped a nickel and could not find it, she said, "Honey, you need full fare to ride on this bus" - I needed to be in court - I missed the court date - I have a warrant out for my arrest. I no longer care. I do see that lady is no longer driving this bus.
Much needed in this area. I'd prefer a diamond-plated one with an IED attached but not sure how to attach that to a Lexus. As many times as vehicles here are side-swiped, rear-ended, backed into, run over and crashed perhaps that would be a good deterrent. In the meanwhile, I simply use "Police Lines Do Not Cross" streamers hanging from the back of my car's trunk. Painting "Service Dog Onboard" along with 4" painted "DO NOT TAILGATE" was not enough.
Known as the Queen of the Dolomites, Marmolada is the highest mountain in the Dolomites.
August 2019
What we particularly liked about this place - address is clearly visible and marked at the entrance. Makes life so much easier when calling a cab. Menu - breaded pork chops, potatoes au gratin & green beans. Pancake did not want to leave!
What I noticed about Biloxi was while snorkling the Gulf floor was covered with bits of Corexit - remnants of the Exxon spill. I did not see any evidence of marine life at all. The beaches were quite dirty and littered and also found some hypodermic needles here and there. It is not a place I would like to live but it would be great if they'd clean it up.

I've been told US Route 60, Shelbyville Road, is the gateway highway for drug trafficking throughout Kentucky and the USA. In walking from Louisville to Shelbyville it did appear to be true after speaking with a number of individuals I'd encountered along the way.
Midland Trail: The early routing of the Midland Trail, from east to west, began in either New York City or Washington, D.C. and continued through Richmond and Clifton Forge, Virginia to Charleston, West Virginia and passed on through Morehead, KY to Lexington, Kentucky; Louisville, Kentucky; Vincennes, Indiana; Salem, Illinois; St. Louis, Missouri; Sedalia, Missouri; Kansas City, Missouri and Topeka, Kansas; to Limon, Colorado and then on to Denver, Colorado.
From Denver, the original routing split several ways to cross the rockies via Berthoud Pass, Tennessee Pass, Cochetopa Pass, and Monarch Pass. All routings converged in Grand Junction, Colorado and continued into Utah through Green River, Utah and Salt Lake City. Past Salt Lake City, the routing moved southward across the Salt Lake Desert on the same routing as the Lincoln Highway through Iosepa, Utah, Orr's Ranch, Fish Springs Ranch, and Ibapah, Utah.
This part of the route was never popular, the state favoring the Victory Highway routing to the north, which is the basic alignment later followed by Interstate 80, and is now largely inaccessible as it is part of the Dugway Proving Grounds. In central Nevada, the highway continued across the Great Basin Desert through Ely and Tonopah then turning south at Goldfield in the Amargosa Desert and then west into California at Lida and over the Inyo Mountains and White Mountains through Westgard Pass.
At the junction in Big Pine, California in the Owens Valley, the original routing then split into four options:
The first through Mammoth Lakes, Mono Lake, Yosemite, and Stockton to San Francisco.
The second through Bridgeport, California, Lake Tahoe, and Placerville to Sacramento and then San Francisco.
The third south through Independence and Mojave in the Mojave Desert, and then west through Tehachapi Pass to the San Joaquin Valley, and then northward through Merced and Modesto to San Francisco.
The fourth continuing southward from Mojave through Willow Springs to Los Angeles. By the time the Automobile Club of Southern California had prepared their 1917 map of the state, the fourth routing, through Mojave and Willow Springs to Los Angeles, had become the main routing for the Midland Trail in California.
Following a major realignment of the route and assumption into the state highway system around 1922, the main Midland Trail alignment in California bypassed early stagecoach-era stops at Freeman and Willow Springs and at the Neuralia railroad siding, and now routed through Red Rock Canyon to Mojave. The earlier alignment took a high line route to the west in the Sierra Nevada and Scodie Mountains foothills around it following the Los Angeles Aqueduct route past Jawbone Canyon, thence following the Southern Pacific railroad tracks through Rosamond and Lancaster and on to Los Angeles, following the route that was later assigned to U.S. Route 6—the Sierra Highway) in 1937.
Various alignments of this portion of the trail followed the late 19th century Twenty-mule team roads built to haul gold from the Cerro Gordo Mines across the Mojave Desert. and roads built for the early 20th century construction of the Los Angeles Aqueduct.
The title of each photo in this series is a translated line from a poem found in the Chapel of Bones. See the full poem in the original language here en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Capela_dos_Ossos#Poem .
From our tour guide - the Franciscan monks who used the bones of approximately 5000 corpses, built this to send a message to the nobles that in death, no one can tell the difference between the rich and the poor, royal or common.
