it profitable to take advantage of the Medicare system
and elderly people. By committing systematic
Medicare fraud including double billing, upcoding,
phantom billing, billing for unnecessary services,
billing for services not provided, and several other
forms of billing fraud, some health care providers are
making millions of dollars at the expense of the elderly
and United States tax payers. Fortunately, some
executors, administrators, and probate lawyers are
beginning to uncover systematic Medicare fraud when
going through estate medical bills and are reporting
dishonest nursing homes, hospice companies, home health
care companies, therapists, dentists, hospitals, and
other health care providers committing systematic
Medicare fraud. For more information on systematic

procedures; triple billing; charging for equipment,
services or supplies never delivered or prescribed;
billing for new equipment or supplies, but providing the
patient with used equipment; offering free services or
supplies in exchange for use of a Medicare number;
unbundling; code jamming; submitting false cost reports
to seek higher Medicare reimbursements than permitted by
actual facts; allowing unqualified health care providers
to bill for services that they should not provide;
falsely seeking hospice care for patients not qualified,
and allowing under qualified providers to bill for
services that they should not provide. If in

Medicare
and Medicaid billing fraud scams are costing the
United States an estimated one hundred billion
dollars ($100,000,000,000.00) each year and with
approximately 10,000 new people gaining Medicare
benefits each day, the cost of Medicare billing
scams including upcoding, double billing,
unnecessary services, and billing for services not
needed is predicted to continue to increase.
To
combat Medicare Billing Fraud Scams and Medicaid
Billing Fraud Scams, the United States government
has amended the Federal False Claims Act to
encourage more Medicare Fraud whistleblowers to step
up and blow the whistle on Medicare Fraud. Medicare
Billing Fraud Whistleblowers and Medicare Payment
Fraud Whistleblowers that are the original source of
specialized knowledge of Medicare Fraud can make
substantial recoveries if they are the first to file
a successful qui tam claim under the Federal False
Claims Act.
In addition, the United States
Government is encouraging people including
administrators, executors, and probate attorneys
with special knowledge of systematic Medicare fraud,
financial fraud, and securities fraud with new
whistleblower bounty actions and amendments to the
Federal False Claims Act that provide economic
incentives for whistleblowers that have original
evidence of and are the first to file on substantial
Medicare fraud, Financial Fraud, and other forms of
fraud.

Fraud Lawyer
Texas Medicare Fraud Lawyer,
Jason S. Coomer, is working with Medicare Fraud
Whistleblowers to expose Medicare fraud and blow the
whistle on criminals that are fraudulently stealing
from the United States and the Medicare program.
Below are some press releases regarding exposing systematic Medicare
Fraud, CHAMPUS fraud, and Medicaid Fraud.
EMERGENCY PHYSICIAN GROUP TO PAY U.S. AND
TEXAS $268,460 FOR HEALTH CARE BILLING FRAUD
INVOLVING FEDERAL AGENCIES
WASHINGTON, D.C. -- Coastal
Emergency Physicians Group of Texas, P.A., will pay
the United States and Texas $268,460 to settle
allegations that Medicus Medical Group, which
Coastal acquired in January 1993, received over
payments from federal health insurance programs
based on false claims submitted by Medicus' billing
company, the Department of Justice announced today.
Assistant Attorney General Frank
W. Hunger of the Civil Division said Coastal, an
emergency physician staffing company, made the
payment to resolve allegations of false billings by
Medicus to the Medicare, Medicaid and CHAMPUS
programs.
The Department said Medicus hired
an Oklahoma City billing company, Emergency
Physicians Billing Services (EPBS), to submit claims
on its behalf to federal and state health care
programs. EPBS then submitted false Medicare,
Medicaid and CHAMPUS claims on Medicus' behalf for
patients seen by Medicus physicians. The United
States alleged that EPBS typically changed the codes
of claims submitted to the agencies and billed for
services more extensive than those actually provided
by Medicus' physicians.
The agreement settles a dispute
with Coastal originally brought as a qui tam case in
U.S. District Court in Oklahoma City. As part of the
settlement, the estate of Theresa Semtner, who filed
the suit on behalf of the United States, will
receive approximately $47,394. This is in addition
to the $1.5 million the estate will receive from a
recent settlement with another defendant in the
action, EmCare Inc. The United States is continuing
to pursue recoveries against EPBS and its other
customers.
The case, United States ex rel.
Semtner v. Emergency Physicians Billing Services,
Civil Action No. Civ-94-617-(C) (W.D. OK), was
conducted by the Civil Division with the assistance
of the Department of Health and Human Service's
offices of Inspector General in Washington, D.C.,
and Dallas, Texas; the Oklahoma City office of the
FBI; the Tulsa Resident Agency of the Defense
Criminal Investigative Service; the Program
Integrity Branch of the Office of CHAMPUS; the
Office of Inspector General for the Office of
Personnel Management in Washington, D.C.; and
various state attorneys general Medicaid Fraud
Control Units around the country. Additional audit
support was provided by Xact, the Medicare
intermediary in Pennsylvania.
EMERGENCY PHYSICIAN GROUP TO PAY U.S. &
MICHIGAN $1.6 MILLION FOR HEALTH CARE BILLING FRAUD
WASHINGTON, D.C. An emergency
physician group in Michigan will pay the
United States and the state of
Michigan $1.6 million to settle allegations that the
group submitted false claims through its billing
company, the Department of Justice announced today.
Today's settlement resolves allegations that the
group, Medical Center Emergency Services, P.C.,
overcharged Medicare, Medicaid, the Department of
Defense's TRICARE program and the Federal Employees
Health Benefits Program (FEHBP).
The Department said that Medical
Center Emergency Services hired Emergency Physicians
Billing Services (EPBS) to submit claims on its
behalf to federal and state health care programs.
The Oklahoma City billing company then submitted
false Medicare, Medicaid, TRICARE and FEHBP claims
on the group's behalf for patients seen by Medical
Center Emergency Services physicians. The Department
said that EPBS typically upcoded claims and billed
for services more extensive than those actually
provided by the physicians.
"This settlement is yet another
example of the United States' commitment to
protecting federal funds from fraud and abuse
committed by physicians and health care billing
companies," said Assistant Attorney General Robert
D. McCallum, Jr. of the Department's Civil Division.
The agreement settles a dispute
with the group originally brought as a qui tam or
whistleblower case in the United States District
Court in Oklahoma City. As part of the settlement,
the estate of Theresa Semtner, which filed the suit
on behalf of the United States, will receive
approximately $279,943. Ms. Semtner was a former
employee of EPBS. This settlement is the latest in a
series of settlements with other EPBS clients. The
United States settled with EPBS in October 1999.
The case was conducted by the
Justice Department's Civil Division with the
assistance of the Office of the Inspector General,
Department of Health and Human Services in
Washington, D.C.; the Oklahoma City office of the
FBI; the Tulsa Resident Agency of the Defense
Criminal Investigative Service; the Program
Integrity Branch of the TRICARE Program, the United
States Department of Defense; the Office of
Inspector General for the Office of Personnel
Management in Washington, D.C.; and the Michigan
Medicaid Fraud Control Unit.

Fraud and Kickback Lawsuit Information
Estate representative
whistleblowers,
executor whistleblowers, administrator whistleblowers, and
probate lawyer whistleblowers are stepping up
and exposing Medicare
fraud that is costing taxpayers millions. The
economic incentive for these probate and estate representative
whistleblowers,
administrator whistleblowers, and
probate whistleblowers is that if they
are an original source with special knowledge of fraud
and are the first to file, a portion of the
money that the government recovers can be rewarded to
the proper whistleblower. Depending on
the extent of the fraud, qui tam recoveries for the
government have been in the billions of dollars and
whistleblower recoveries have been in the hundreds of
millions of dollars.
There are several keys to a
successful False Claims Act Qui Tam Whistleblower action
including 1) obtaining original and specialized
information of the fraud, 2) being the first to file
regarding the specific fraud, and 3) protecting the
whistleblower for retaliation.
Original and Specialized Information of Fraud
is Essential for a Systematic Medicare Fraud Whistleblower
Lawsuit,
Probate Medicare Fraud Whistleblower Lawsuit,
Financial Investment Fraud Bounty Action Lawsuit, or
Estate Representative Whistleblower Lawsuit
People with
specialized knowledge and evidence of systematic
Medicare fraud and large financial fraud such as estate
administrators, representatives, and executors, can be
the source for original and specialized information that
leads to a recovery from a large health care provider,
corporation, or financial institute.
Being the First to File on the Fraud is
Essential for Recovery Under the False Claims Act and
Financial Fraud Bounty Actions
It is also essential to not delay in
coming forward with a False Claim Act Qui Tam Action as
the first whistleblower to file is eligible to be a
relator and make a large recovery for exposing the
fraud.
Medicare Fraud Whistleblower
Protection,
Medicare Reimbursement Whistleblower Protection,
Medicare Compliance Whistleblower Protection, and
Financial Investment Fraud Whistleblower Protection
It is also important to understand
potential whistleblower protections under the False
Claims Act and to discuss with an attorney how to
prepare for potential retaliation or aggressive attacks
by the employer or contractor. For more
information on this topic please go to the following web
