What Is The False Claims Act?
The False Claims Act is the primary federal law used to pursue fraud against government programs. The qui tam provision allows insiders with direct knowledge of fraud to file a lawsuit on the government’s behalf. Once filed, the case remains under seal while the government reviews the evidence and decides whether to intervene. Whistleblowers who bring successful cases may receive between 15% and 30% of the government’s total recovery. Our attorneys guide you through every stage of the Federal False Claims Act process, from gathering evidence to filing your complaint and negotiating your share of the recovery.
Types Of Fraud We Handle
Fischer Legal Group represents whistleblowers across a wide range of False Claims Act cases involving fraud against government programs. This includes:
Medicare And Medicaid Fraud
Healthcare providers, billing specialists and compliance officers often witness fraud involving false claims submitted to Medicare or Medicaid. This includes billing for services never rendered, upcoding to increase reimbursement and submitting claims for medically unnecessary procedures. If you work in a hospital, clinic, nursing home or home health agency and have seen billing practices that defraud these programs, the False Claims Act may apply. Learn more about Medicare and Medicaid fraud.
Defense Contractor Fraud
Employees and subcontractors working on government defense contracts frequently see cost inflation, cross-charging, defective pricing and delivery of substandard goods. These practices cost taxpayers millions and violate the False Claims Act. If you are involved in defense contracting and have witnessed fraudulent billing or performance issues, you may have grounds for a qui tam case. Explore the defense contractor fraud cases we handle.
Construction Contractor Fraud
Public construction projects funded by federal or state dollars are vulnerable to fraud, including inflated invoices, use of substandard materials and false certifications. Project managers, engineers and subcontractors often have the clearest view of these violations. If you have direct knowledge of fraud on a publicly funded construction project, the False Claims Act provides a path to hold contractors accountable. Read more about construction contractor fraud.
Kickbacks
Illegal kickbacks in exchange for patient referrals or product purchases violate the Anti-Kickback Statute and can form the basis of a False Claims Act case. Sales representatives, physicians and administrative staff often witness these arrangements. If you know of kickbacks tied to Medicare, Medicaid or other federal healthcare programs, we can help you pursue a claim. Learn more about kickback cases.
