One person can make a big difference

Since 1986, individuals like you – people who suspect fraud and who want to come forward to see justice done – have enabled the government to successfully file more than 4,000 False Claim suits. The government has recovered over $6 billion of taxpayers’ money as a result of these suits, of which over $1 billion has been paid to the relators/whistleblowers themselves.

Over the next several years it is projected that the deterrent effect of the Qui Tam provision will save the federal government between $105 to $210 billion dollars of taxpayers’ money.

The False Claims Act benefits:

U.S. Taxpayers
• Reduces the burden that fraud puts on federal and state budgets
• Deters additional fraudulent misuse of federal resources and taxpayers’ money.

Healthcare
• Helps contain healthcare costs by recovering billions of dollars fraudulently billed to federal agencies
• Gives physicians, hospitals, pharmaceutical companies and others in the healthcare field a strong incentive to provide quality care, and not put patients’ lives at risk by selling medications that are not safe or performing procedures that are not necessary

Defense
• Helps ensure that U.S. military forces are properly outfitted with equipment that is produced, delivered and performs as specified under contract.

Business Owners
• Helps contain the burden that prevalent fraud adds to skyrocketing healthcare insurance costs

Environment
• Helps the environment and controls depletion of natural resources by letting timber, mining and oil companies know that they can expect to pay a high price for wasting natural resources, allowing practices that permit toxic waste, and taking resources from public lands.
