Paul Creech has represented Texas Medicaid Fraud Whistleblowers and protected, navigated and counseled them through the process and into their reward.
What is the Texas Medicaid Fraud Prevention Act?
The Texas Medicaid Fraud Prevention Act permits a whistleblower to file a qui tam lawsuit against a defendant for defrauding the Texas Medicaid Program and rewards the whistleblower with a percentage of the damages recovered for the State of Texas. The term qui tam refers to a Latin phrase, meaning that the person sues on behalf of himself or herself and the Government. Texas Medicaid Fraud Prevention Act lawsuits are filed in secret “Under Seal” to allow the State of Texas to conduct an investigation based on the whistleblower’s information.
Rewards for Whistleblowers
The Texas Medicaid Fraud Prevention Act rewards successful whistleblowers with between 15-30% of the State of Texas’ recovery. Common Texas Medicaid Fraud Prevention Act cases involve unlawful payments by providers to beneficiaries or their families in exchange for the beneficiary receiving Texas Medicaid funded healthcare. Other common frauds against Texas Medicaid involve “up-coding” bills to charge for more services, products, or time spent performing services than were actually performed.
