Medicare and Medicaid Fraud
The health care system is one of the biggest sources of fraud against the federal government. Certain doctors and health care providers may submit false or inflated Medicare or Medicaid claims for reimbursement by the government. These health care providers often collude with a third-party provider, such as a testing lab, in the creation and submission of these false claims.
False Claims Act Changes Aim at Subcontractors for Federal Programs
June 4, 2009 - Subcontractors and non-governmental entities who knowingly submit false claims to a general contractor - including contractors with federally funded health programs-will be subject to sanctions under the federal False Claims Act under provisions included in the Fraud Enforcement and Recovery Act of 2009 (FERA) (Pub.L.No. 111-21), signed into law by President Obama on May 20, 2009. FERA amends the False Claims Act to correct erroneous interpretations of the law which have allowed subcontractors and non-governmental entities to escape responsibility. The amendments specifically provide that the False Claims Act reaches all false claims submitted to state administered Medicaid programs.
