Experienced False Claim Act Attorneys
Hospitals, clinics and other medical organizations work extensively with the federal government. Generally their conduct is above board, but fraud can occur. The False Claims Act, also called the “Lincoln Law,” makes it a crime for people and companies (typically federal contractors) to defraud the government through false medical claims. The whistleblower, the person who reports the false claims, is eligible for a portion of the recovered damages and will be protected from retaliation.
Reporting fraud in a healthcare setting is the right thing to do, but it can be personally complicated and emotionally difficult. At Gingras, Thomsen & Wachs, we’ll fight to make sure you get the compensation you deserve for acting as a whistleblower.
