Type of Fraud

It is often impossible for authorities to detect Medicare fraud at hospitals without the help of whistleblowers. It is estimated that improper billing practices and other types of hospital fraud cost American taxpayers billions of dollars every year.

The federal government spends billions of dollars each year on healthcare and prescription drugs for Americans through Medicare, Medicaid, and other medical programs. If a doctor, hospital, or nursing home overcharges or otherwise submits false billing claims to these programs, taxpayer dollars have essentially been stolen.
