Pharmaceutical Fraud

Pharmaceutical manufacturers have been found guilty of perpetrating fraud against Medicare and Medicaid programs costing tax payers billions of dollars each year.

Such types of pharmaceutical fraud include:

• Marketing of drugs for health credits;
• Illegal kickbacks;
• Inflating the price of medication.
• Pharmaceutical manufacturers, despite the agreement they have with Medicaid, which is to charge them the best price offered, may fraudulently charge more for prescriptions reimbursed by Medicaid. The amount charged to Medicaid may be fraudulent if it is an amount more than they seek for the same medications to wholesalers, private insurers and businesses.

Without the information provided by whistleblowers filing a qui tam claim under the federal and state false claims act, pharmaceutical fraud would go undetected by the government.
