Colorado Corporate Whistleblower Center Now Urges a Nursing Home Manager in Colorado to Call About Rewards If Their Facility Is Overbilling Medicare for an inadequately Staffed Facility

This practice is called short-staffing and it happens in nursing homes in every state nationwide. Frequently nursing homes also bill Medicare for medical procedures that never took place.”
— Colorado Corporate Whistleblower Center

WASHINGTON, DC, USA, March 27, 2018 /EINPresswire.com/ -- The Colorado Corporate Whistleblower Center says, "We are urging a staff member or manager at a nursing home anywhere in Colorado to call us anytime at 866-714-6466 if Medicare is being grossly overbilled for insufficient staff levels to care for the facility's patients. This practice is called short-staffing and it happens in nursing homes in every state nationwide. Frequently nursing homes involved in short staffing also bill Medicare for medical procedures that never took place. If you have proof your employer-nursing home is significantly involved in these types of practices or activities-there can significant rewards for this type of information as we would like to discuss- anytime." http://Colorado.CorporateWhistleblower.Com

On November 16th, 2017 the Department of Justice announced a $1,250,000 settlement from the operator of a nursing home in Mississippi based nursing home for providing effectively worthless services to residents. The allegations included the nursing home managers failed to meet the nutritional needs of residents, failed to administer medications to residents as prescribed by their physicians, over-medicated residents, hired insufficient staff to care for them, and diverted Medicare and Medicaid funds to other entities affiliated with the operators and in doing so left the facility unable to pay for its basic operations, including food, heat, air conditioning, pest control, and cleaning. While the whistleblower reward has not yet been announced it is expected to be around $150,000.

The Colorado Corporate Whistleblower Center is eager to discuss potential healthcare professionals in Colorado who have proof of following types of practices:

* Short staffed nursing homes that are billing Medicare as if they are fully staffed.
* Hospice providers billing Medicare for end of life medical treatment for people who are not dying.
* Drug companies bribing medical doctors with the intent---the physician will over prescribe pharmaceutical products.
* Hospitals admitting Medicare patients through their ER for expensive medical testing that should have never happened.
* Blood testing companies or imaging centers paying off physicians for unwarranted expensive medical tests.


According to the Corporate Whistleblower Center, "We want a potential whistleblower who calls us to understand their information could result in a significant whistleblower reward-provided it is well documented, and the wrongdoing is easy to prove. If a person in healthcare knows of a multi-million dollar scheme to overbill Medicare please call us anytime at 866-714-6466 about what the reward potential could be. Please don't sit on a potentially winning lotto ticket without ever know what it might have been worth." http://Colorado.CorporateWhistleblower.Com


Simple rules for a whistleblower from the Corporate Whistleblower Center: Do not go to the government first if you are a potential whistleblower with substantial proof of wrongdoing. The Colorado Corporate Whistleblower Center says, “Major whistleblowers frequently go to the government thinking they will help. It’s a huge mistake. Do not go to the news media with your whistleblower information. Public revelation of a whistleblower’s information could destroy any prospect for a reward. Do not try to force a company/employer or individual to come clean about significant Medicare fraud, overbilling the federal government for services never rendered, multi-million-dollar state or federal tax evasion, or a Colorado based company falsely claiming to be a minority owned business to get preferential treatment on federal or state projects. Come to us first, tell us what type of information you have, and if we think it’s sufficient, we will help you with a focus on you getting rewarded.”


Unlike any group in the US the Corporate Whistleblower Center can assist a potential whistleblower with packaging or building out their information to potentially increase the reward potential. They will also provide the whistleblower with access to some of the most skilled whistleblower attorneys in the nation.
