Ohio Medical Claim Attorneys
If you are aware of doctors or other health care providers who are committed health care fraud, it is important to stand up for what is right and to report that fraud to the proper authorities. Blowing the whistle on health care fraud is the right decision, but it can also be a difficult one for many people to make, especially when they are unaware of what consequences may come out of such reporting.

These people are protected under whistleblower and qui tam laws, which protect against retaliation and can provide protection for your legal interests.
It is important to speak with a lawyer about your options and what the process is for whistle blowing. Contact our firm by calling toll free at 866-409-6215.
Cleveland Health Care Fraud Lawyers
Health care fraud may involve a wide range of behaviors, such as:
- Inflating costs related to patient care
- Seeking reimbursement for costs not related to in-patient care
- Failing to disclose the nature or the relationship between business entities with whom provide is dealing
- Manipulating statistics to increase payments
- Failure to report overpayments
- Inappropriate coding
- Inappropriate hospital admissions
Qui tam law allows an individual to sue in the name of the federal government for violations of federal law, such as misuse of federal funding. The individual who brings the lawsuit can then share in the financial recovery if the government is awarded damages.
If you are successful in your lawsuit, you may be entitled to up to 30 percent of the monetary award. Our qui tam attorneys are knowledgeable in these cases and will help to ensure you receive the compensation you deserve.
