Case Details
Our client reported claims of Medicare fraud by a New Hampshire hospital. Catholic Medical Center (CMC) agreed to pay the federal government $3,800,000 to resolve allegations that Medicare and Medicaid payments were made in violation of law.
Additional Notes
As a whistleblower, the doctor will receive 15% of the disputed funds or $570,000 as a bonus, because without his knowledge and persistence, none of the tax dollars would have been paid back to the Medicare system. CMC did not admit liability as a part of the settlement. Attorney Chuck Douglas filed the False Claims Act on behalf of whistleblower, Dr. Goldberg, a former CMC employee.
