False Claims Act Intro

The False Claims Act is a powerful tool that allows Plaintiffs, also called whistleblowers to recovery between 15 to 25 percent of the Government’s recovery of fraud dollars where a case is successfully prosecuted. First to file rules are at play which means that the first person to file a successful case typically receives most or all of the recovery. Medicare fraud is a common basis for recovery under the False Claims act.

Whistleblowers come forward and report Government fraud for a variety of reasons. While some are interested in the potential big payout at the end of a case, most people who report Medicare or other types of fraud are interested in correcting abuses in our system which can affect all of us.
