Corporate Whistleblower Center Strongly Encourages Skilled Nursing Facility Insiders to Call Them if They Can Prove Medicare Fraud-Its All About Getting Rewarded
(PRWEB) August 28, 2013 -- The Corporate Whistleblower Center is very focused on trying to get the word out to nursing home, skilled nursing, or in home healthcare professionals about rewards for Medicare fraud, because there really can be significant rewards for specific proof of Medicare over billing, or wrongdoing, and because these are the types of people, who typically see it first. Take as an example the whistlebower in Virginia who received a $122,500 reward for information related to a skilled nursing facility in Virginia, for alleged Medicare fraud. In this particular instance on February 13th 2013, the United States Department of Justice said, "The United States alleged that the therapy services were often excessive, duplicative, performed without clear goals or direction, and, in some instances, performed primarily to capture higher reimbursement rates."
The Corporate Whistleblower Center says, "According to the Justice Department's press release, in this particular instance the Northern Virginia therapy provider will pay $700,000 to resolve False Claims Act allegations. We say, we think this is peanuts, and we are urging whistleblowers, who possess significant proof of multi million dollar Medicare fraud to call us anytime at 866-714-6466, because are convinced this is national problem with similar fact sets in every state." http://CorporateWhistleblowerCenter.Com
Simple rules for a whistleblower from the Corporate Whistle Blower Center:
- Do not go to the government first, if you are a major whistleblower. The Corporate Whistleblower Center says, "Major whistleblowers frequently go to the federal government thinking they will help. It's a huge mistake. Frequently government officials could care less, or they are incompetent."
- Do not go to the news media with your whistleblower information. Public revelation of a whistleblower's information could destroy any prospect for a reward.
- Do not try to force a government contractor, or corporation to come clean to the government about their wrong doing. The Corporate Whistleblower Center says, "Fraud is so rampant among federal contractors, that any suggestion of exposure might result in an instant job termination, or harassment of the whistleblower. We say, come to us first, tell us what type of information you have, and if we think its sufficient, we will help find the right law firms, to assist in advancing your information."
Any type of insider, or employee, who possesses significant proof of their employer, or a private contractor is fleecing the federal government out of millions of dollars is encouraged to contact to Corporate Whistleblower Center anytime at 866-714-6466. This especially includes healthcare professionals, medical doctors, nurses, etc. Potential whistleblowers can also contact the group via their web site. http://CorporateWhistleblowerCenter.Com
