We see very little evidence of the government actually checking to see if prescriptions were properly ordered, or are being properly dispensed
(PRWEB) September 18, 2013
The Corporate Whistleblower Center says, "On August 9th, 2013 the United States Department of Justice reported they had filed suit against PharMerica Corp, a long-term care pharmacy that provides drugs to residents of long-term care facilities, under the False Claims Act. The suit alleges that PharMerica violated the False Claims Act and the Controlled Substances Act by dispensing drugs without a valid prescription and then submitting these claims to the Medicare program. The lawsuit alleges that many of these drugs were listed as Schedule II drugs under the Controlled Substances Act, which can be very harmful if taken improperly, and also have a high rate of dependence."
The Corporate Whistleblower Center believes this specific Justice Department case is the tip of a gigantic iceberg, based on their work with whistleblowers, especially related to nursing homes, or skilled nursing facilities. The group says, "We see very little evidence of the government actually checking to see if prescriptions were properly ordered, or are being properly dispensed. Furthermore, many of the types of drugs we have seen illegally prescribed are extremely expensive, and there can be numerous prescriptions for just one person.

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 urge you to come to us and tell us what type of information you have. If we think it’s sufficient, we will help find the right law firms that can assist you 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.
