Healthcare Whistleblower Lawyer Pittsburgh, PA
Don’t make the mistake of thinking that defrauding government programs like Medicare and Medicaid or private insurance companies is “ok” because “they have enough money anyway.” It’s a crime, and ultimately, insurance and healthcare fraud end up costing innocent people like you and other taxpayers a lot of money. Government programs like Medicaid allocate billions of dollars to provide healthcare for people who otherwise would not be able to afford it. Defrauding programs like these hurts the most vulnerable members of society.
Standing up and speaking out about healthcare fraud means taking action to protect the ill and elderly patients you work with every day. Medicare, Medicaid, and other health insurance fraud can take several forms. Some of the most common types of cases our Pittsburgh healthcare whistleblower lawyer handles include billing for services not rendered or not rendered according to the relevant laws and regulations. A similar form of fraud involves using higher billing codes for certain services instead of the correct billing codes for the services actually provided to the patient, thereby allowing the practice to receive higher reimbursements than it is entitled to.
We work alongside you to ensure compliance with federal laws regarding whistleblowing, explaining how to gather evidence, when to step back and remain silent, and what your options are for receiving a portion of any funds recovered from the fraud investigation. You’re doing the right thing, and we respect that. Let our firm handle all the legal matters necessary to pursue your claim.
