At Jeff Newman Law, we have years of experience in representing whistleblowers in Medicaid fraud cases, and we have helped whistleblowers bring cases that resulted in multi-million dollar recoveries.


Common cases we handle include frauds committed by health care providers and suppliers, including pharmaceutical and medical device companies, hospitals, nursing homes, physician practices, lab companies, urgent care centers, and mental health centers.


These include:


  • Pharmacies, pharmaceutical and medical device kickbacks


  • Marketing for unapproved uses


  • False price reporting to government programs


  • Upcoding of medical procedures and services


  • Billing for procedures and services that were medically unnecessary or not performed at all


* We don’t handle claims that an individual has been treated unfairly—for example, receiving a medical bill that you think is excessive.

FAQ

  • Will I be protected as a Medicaid fraud whistleblower?

    Yes. Whistleblowers are protected by law and attorney-client privilege. 


    That means you can safely consult with an attorney about your claim without your identity being disclosed. 


    And if you have a viable case and decide to pursue it, the law keeps your identity confidential to the maximum extent allowed.


    It is also a crime for companies to retaliate against an employee for reporting wrongdoing. 


    Whistleblowers are protected from retaliation not just by their current employers, but also future employers.

  • What type of reward will I receive?

    Your financial reward for a successful case will vary by the type of claim and size of the fraud. 


    A whistleblower can receive 10-30% of any judgment depending on the result, and some rewards have been in the tens of millions of dollars.  

  • How do I pay for my lawyers?

    You pay us nothing unless you receive a whistleblower reward.


    We work on what’s called a contingency fee basis. That means we as a law firm are only compensated if you receive a reward. Our fee is a percentage of your reward. 


    You’ll never get a monthly bill from us. What you’ll get are experienced and zealous advocates fighting fraud by your side.

  • Do I have a viable claim?

    It’s important to seek legal counsel from a skilled and experienced whistleblower lawyer to help determine if you have a viable claim. 


    Whistleblower claims have unusual and detailed legal requirements that vary by the type of claim. This can be a complex determination, and one that we guide clients through during an initial free consultation. 


    It’s important to note that in all cases you will need to have evidence of fraud that is specific and can be corroborated through investigation.

  • Why should I report fraud?

    If you are aware of a company that has engaged in Medicaid fraud, filing a False Claims Act case gives you the opportunity to bring the fraud to the attention of the government, which may force the company to comply with the law and protect others who may be impacted by the fraud. 


    Filing a whistleblower case also may entitle you to receive a monetary reward.


    Every year, tens of billions of taxpayer dollars are lost due to corporate fraud. Whistleblowers play a critical role in uncovering these frauds. 


    It takes courage to speak up. Lawmakers recognize this and have created both powerful financial incentives to encourage whistleblowers to come forward and strong protections for those whistleblowers.
