Whistleblower Summaries

Whistleblowers who file qui tam lawsuits have multiple allegations about fraud and retaliation. Some of these cases are summarized for your review. These particular cases deal with Medicaid fraud allegations. The attorneys at Berg & Androphy have many cases currently under seal and being evaluated by the Federal and State Governments. The whistleblower cases include multiple topics involving fraud. Unlike many Qui Tam firms, Berg & Androphy is a TRIAL FIRM, and will litigate cases even if the government declines to intervene. Of course, each case will be evaluated based on the particular facts of each case, and a final and independent determination will be made by the Firm about whether to proceed without government assistance.
