Healthcare is a massive industry in the United States, accounting for nearly 18 percent of the country’s gross domestic product. Government healthcare programs contribute significantly to these costs, with Medicare and Medicaid providing coverage to almost one in three Americans—over 100 million people.
The substantial financial stakes in healthcare make it a prime target for fraud, with up to 10% of government healthcare spending lost to fraudulent activities. Given the sheer scale of this issue, the government cannot uncover all fraud on its own. That’s where brave whistleblowers, often supported by experienced healthcare fraud attorneys, play a crucial role in the successful prosecution of healthcare fraud cases.
While much of the focus is on Medicare and Medicaid, whistleblowers, with the help of a healthcare fraud lawyer, can file False Claims Act lawsuits involving any government-funded healthcare program, including TRICARE (military), Federal Employee Healthcare Benefits, and Veterans Administration programs.
