      <title>Corporate Whistleblower Center Now Urges Employees at Long Term Care Facilities to Call Them About Whistleblower Rewards if They Have Proof of Overbilling Medicare</title>
      <link>http://www.releasewire.com/press-releases/release-3.htm</link>
      <description><![CDATA[<div class="newsleft"><div class="newsbody"><p class="subheadline">The Corporate Whistleblower Center is calling on employees at long term care facilities to contact them at 866-714-6466, if they have well-documented proof their facility is involved in major overbilling of Medicare, because the rewards can be extremely substantial. httP://CorporateWhistleblowerCenter.Com</p><p>Washington, DC -- (<a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.releasewire.com/">ReleaseWire</a>) -- 03/03/2014 --  The <a class="extlink"  target="_blank"  rel="nofollow noopener" title="Corporate Whistleblower Center" href="http://CorporateWhistleblowerCenter.Com">Corporate Whistleblower Center</a> says,"Because long term care facilities are not highly regulated, it is not uncommon for these types of facilities to overcharge Medicare by hundreds of thousands or even millions of dollars each year. This presents an excellent opportunity for employees, or insiders to document their proof of fraud and do the right thing by stepping forward. Because the government relies on whistleblowers so heavily, they have the potential to be rewarded handsomely for their information. It&apos;s not uncommon for whistleblowers to get hundreds of thousands of dollars in reward money." For more information healthcare whistleblowers can contact the Corporate Whistleblower Center anytime at 866-714-6466.<br />
<br />
Recently, a whistleblower at a long-term care facility received a $798,000 reward for stepping forward with his information. According to a press release from the Department of Justice, Specialty Hospitals of America, which operates two long-term care facilities in Washington, DC, agreed to pay $4.2 million to settle allegations they allegedly overbilled Medicare. According to the lawsuit, Specialty Hospitals of America allegedly filed reports that contained inaccurate financial data. As a result, the company allegedly received inflated Medicare reimbursement rates over a two-year period from 2007 to 2009. <a class="extlink"  rel="nofollow noopener"  target="_blank"  title="http://CorporateWhistleblowerCenter.Com" href="http://CorporateWhistleblowerCenter.Com">http://CorporateWhistleblowerCenter.Com</a><br />

      <title>Corporate Whistleblower Center Urges Employees of Government Food Service Contractors to Call Them About Reward Programs if They Have Proof of Major Overbilling</title>
      <link>http://www.releasewire.com/press-releases/release-3.htm</link>
      <description><![CDATA[<div class="newsleft"><div class="newsbody"><p class="subheadline">The Corporate Whistleblower Center is pointing to recent settlements to encourage insiders at food service companies to contact them at 866-714-6466 about reward programs if they have well documented proof their company is overbilling, or defrauding the federal government. http://CorporateWhistleblowerCenter.Com</p><p>Washington, DC -- (<a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.releasewire.com/">ReleaseWire</a>) -- 01/16/2014 --  The Corporate Whistleblower Center says, "Private contractors provide the government with billions of dollars in food services each year. School lunch programs, food and meals for our armed forces, typically use private contractors, as do numerous other federal agencies. Because there is so little oversight, we believe the possibility for fraud or overbilling is extremely high. Whistleblowers stand to make a lot of money for exposing this fraud." For more information potential whistleblowers can call the Corporate Whistleblower Center anytime at 866-714-6466. <a class="extlink"  rel="nofollow noopener"  target="_blank"  title="http://CorporateWhistleblowerCenter.Com" href="http://CorporateWhistleblowerCenter.Com">http://CorporateWhistleblowerCenter.Com</a><br />
<br />
In an example, recently, a whistleblower received a $798,000 reward from the government for the information he provided related to a Texas food distribution company. In this instance, the company agreed to pay $4.2 million to settle allegations that it overcharged the Department of Defense for fresh produce. According to a press release from the Department of Justice, allegedly the company overbilled the DoD by knowingly inflating their prices for produce over a nearly two-year period.<br />
<br />
The <a class="extlink"  target="_blank"  rel="nofollow noopener" title="Corporate Whistleblower Center" href="http://CorporateWhistleblowerCenter.Com">Corporate Whistleblower Center</a> is urging employees or managers at any type of contractor providing food services to the federal government that is overbilling or defrauding the government in any way to contact them immediately at 866-714-6466 about what can be incredibly lucrative federal whistleblower reward programs. The potential whistleblower must have well-documented proof, such as accounting records, e-mails, or other types of documentation that prove the wrongdoing. Additionally, the fraud must exceed a half million dollars per year.<br />
<br />
"What distinguishes the Corporate Whistleblower Center from any other group in the nation is the fact that we act as an advocate for potential whistleblowers," says a representative from the group.

      <title>Corporate Whistleblower Center Encourages Insiders to Call Them About Rewards if They Can Prove Their Company Is Skirting Anti-Dumping Import Laws by Transshipping</title>
      <link>http://www.releasewire.com/press-releases/release-3.htm</link>
      <description><![CDATA[<div class="newsleft"><div class="newsbody"><p class="subheadline">The Corporate Whistleblower Center is emphasizing the high reward potential for insiders who have proof their company is engaged in transshipping schemes to avoid paying US anti-dumping duties. Potential whistleblowers with well-documented proof of these types of practices are encouraged to contact the group at 877-714-6466 for more information about potential rewards. http://CorporateWhistleblowerCenter.Com</p><p>Washington, DC -- (<a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.releasewire.com/">ReleaseWire</a>) -- 01/14/2014 --  The Corporate Whistleblower Center says, "Dumping" occurs when companies export products at prices lower than what they normally charge in their own country. Antidumping duties are in place to protect US businesses from this unfair practice. Companies often circumvent these duties by transshipping. Transshipping occurs when a company ships products from one country, such as China, to a different country for repackaging, to then claim that country is the country of origin to avoid the antidumping duties. There can be significant rewards for well documented proof of transshipping, as we would like to explain with one call to 866-714-6466." <a class="extlink"  rel="nofollow noopener"  target="_blank"  title="http://CorporateWhistleblowerCenter.Com" href="http://CorporateWhistleblowerCenter.Com">http://CorporateWhistleblowerCenter.Com</a><br />
<br />
The government aggressively pursues any company that participates in transshipping. Recently, an Ohio-based company, Basco Manufacturing, Inc., agreed to pay $1.1 million to settle claims it violated the False Claims Act by allegedly making false claims to customs to avoid paying antidumping duties on products imported from China. According to the suit, the company allegedly participated in transshipping by claiming the products were from Malaysia by shipping them from China to Malaysia for repackaging.<br />
<br />
The Corporate Whistleblower Center says, "We would like insiders with proof a company is engaging in transshipping to contact us, not only because it is the right thing to do, but because the reward potential is huge. If you have well-documented proof of this type of wrongdoing in excess of $1 million, we will help you package your information and get you to the best whistleblower attorneys in the country."

<br />
In a recent case, the Justice Department reported that Vantage Oncology, which owns and manages radiation oncology groups throughout the country, agreed to pay $2.08 million to settle claims it allegedly violated the False Claims Act. According to the suit, Vantage allegedly overbilled and double-billed Medicare for various procedures and improperly billed Medicare for radiation treatments. <br />
<br />
In this instance, the whistleblower will receive $354,450 as a reward for coming forward.<br />
<br />
The Corporate Whistleblower Center is urging employees or insiders at imaging centers or radiation oncology groups to call them they have well documented proof of Medicare fraud, such as overbilling, billing for procedures at a higher rate, or double billing. Because the procedures associated with treatments at these types of centers typically involve a great deal of money, the whistleblower rewards can be hundreds of thousands of dollars.<br />

      <title>Corporate Whistleblower Center Urges Insiders at Software or IT Companies with Proof Their Company Is Defrauding the Government to Call About Reward Programs</title>
      <link>http://www.releasewire.com/press-releases/release-3.htm</link>
      <description><![CDATA[<div class="newsleft"><div class="newsbody"><p class="subheadline">The Corporate Whistleblower Center is pointing to recent high-profile events, including the ill-fated rollout of healthcare.gov, as compelling reasons for whistleblowers to call them at 866-714-6466 about potential reward programs. Whistleblowers with well-documented proof that a company is overbilling or defrauding the federal government on contracted IT, software, or computer services. http://CorporateWhistleblowerCenter.Com</p><p>Washington, DC -- (<a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.releasewire.com/">ReleaseWire</a>) -- 01/07/2014 --  The <a class="extlink"  target="_blank"  rel="nofollow noopener" title="Corporate Whistleblower Center" href="http://CorporateWhistleblowerCenter.Com">Corporate Whistleblower Center</a> says, "Unfortunately, we believe the number of private contractors who overbill or defraud the federal government is astronomical. We believe if more people knew the reward potential for coming forward, it would help curb this abuse of taxpayer dollars. These rewards can frequently be in the millions of dollars. Government contractor fraud can occur with almost any type of company."<br />
<br />
A recent example of this type of fraud occurred between 2001 and 2010. According to a release from the Department of Justice, CA, Inc., a software and IT company based in New York, agreed to pay $8 million to settle claims they allegedly double-billed the Department of Defense and General Services Administration. The lawsuit claims that CA allegedly double-billed the DoD and GSA by charging them for maintenance time periods that had already been paid. Additionally, the lawsuit alleges CA prevented the DoD and GSA from taking advantage of special discounts known as Blanket Purchase Agreements. <a class="extlink"  rel="nofollow noopener"  target="_blank"  title="http://CorporateWhistleblowerCenter.Com" href="http://CorporateWhistleblowerCenter.Com">http://CorporateWhistleblowerCenter.Com</a><br />
<br />
"The government frequently relies on software and IT companies for a variety of services," says the Corporate Whistleblower Center. "That&apos;s why there is ample opportunity for whistleblowers to step forward, do the right thing, and help put an end to abuse of taxpayer dollars. If you have proof of multi-million dollar fraud or overbilling, please contact us at 866-714-6466, so we can carefully explain federal whistleblower programs to you."<br />

      <title>Corporate Whistleblower Center Urges Employees at Skilled Nursing Facilities with Well Documented Proof of Multi Million Dollar Medicare Fraud to Contact Them About Reward Opportunities</title>
      <link>http://www.releasewire.com/press-releases/release-3.htm</link>
      <description><![CDATA[<div class="newsleft"><div class="newsbody"><p class="subheadline">The Corporate Whistleblower Center is encouraging employees or insiders at skilled nursing or rehab facilities to contact them at 866-714-6466 if they have proof their employer is committing Medicare fraud. Under the False Claims Act, potential whistleblowers may receive substantial rewards for their information. http://CorporateWhistleblowerCenter.Com</p><p>Washington, DC -- (<a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.releasewire.com/">ReleaseWire</a>) -- 01/06/2014 --  The <a class="extlink"  target="_blank"  rel="nofollow noopener" title="Corporate Whistleblower Center" href="http://CorporateWhistleblowerCenter.com">Corporate Whistleblower Center</a> says, "It&apos;s difficult for the government to verify each and every Medicare claim that comes through. Because of that, Medicare fraud in places like skilled nursing facilities is big business.  Some of the more common ways skilled nursing and rehab facilities defraud the government is by keeping patients longer than is necessary or performing unnecessary testing or procedures on patients. As a result, they receive higher rates of reimbursement from Medicare. As we would like to explain with a phone call to 866-714-6466, healthcare workers with well documented proof of this type of wrongdoing can receive substantial rewards for their information."<br />
<br />
A recent example of this occurred between January 1, 1999 and August 31, 2011. According to a press release from the Department of Justice, The Ensign Group, a skilled nursing home provider based in California, agreed to pay a massive $48 million settlement to resolve allegations that six of their facilities knowingly submitted false claims to Medicare, allegedly for medically unnecessary rehab services. The lawsuit alleges these services were performed solely for the purpose of receiving more money from Medicare. The suit also alleges they provided incentives to staff members for increasing therapy to patients in order to meet their Medicare reimbursement goals. <a class="extlink"  rel="nofollow noopener"  target="_blank"  title="http://CorporateWhistleblowerCenter.Com" href="http://CorporateWhistleblowerCenter.Com">http://CorporateWhistleblowerCenter.Com</a><br />
<br />
"Actions like these result in inflated healthcare costs for taxpayers at a time when costs are already rising at unprecedented rates," says the Corporate Whistleblower Center. "Not only that, but this type of fraudulent activity puts patients at risk. If you have well-documented proof of multi-million dollar Medicare fraud at a skilled nursing facility, rehab center, dialysis center, or hospital, please contact us at 866-714-6466 so we can explain the federal whistleblower reward program to you. All calls are confidential, and if you have enough proof we will get you to the best whistleblower attorneys in the nation." <a class="extlink"  rel="nofollow noopener"  target="_blank"  title="http://CorporateWhistleblowerCenter.Com" href="http://CorporateWhistleblowerCenter.Com">http://CorporateWhistleblowerCenter.Com</a><br />
