Overbilling Fraud Lawyer Eugene, OR
Insurers pay health care providers according to the claims submitted. Claims list the medical treatments the patient received, using a unique Current Procedural Terminology (CPT) code for each treatment, and the insurer then pays the value assigned to each code. It’s expected that healthcare providers review submitted claims for accuracy and bill insurers only for the treatments provided. However, many unscrupulous healthcare providers overbill private insurers and programs like Medicare and Medicaid, costing taxpayers billions of dollars. The waste increases the cost of care for everyone and affects many vulnerable people.
Our Eugene overbilling fraud lawyer can help you report overbilling fraud to the appropriate federal authorities under the False Claims Act. Under this federal law, whistleblowers can report fraud anonymously and be shielded from retaliation by their employer or healthcare provider.
