Home Health Care Fraud and Medicare Fraud Is On The Rise: Home Health Care Provider Employees and Retirement Community Employees Can Receive Large Rewards For Properly Exposing Medicare Fraud Schemes Including Billing for Services Not Provided, Double Billing, and Illegal Kickbacks by Texas Home Health Care Fraud Qui Tam Lawyer & Medicare Home Health Care Fraud Whistle Blower Lawyer Jason S. Coomer
Home health fraud and Medicare fraud is on the rise as some health care providers and retirement communities are using Medicare billing fraud and Medicare kickback schemes to bill Medicare for services that are not provided and taking advantage of Seniors and taxpayers. These fraudulent home health care service schemes can be difficult to detect and it often will take a home health care service employee or retirement center employee to blow the whistle on the home health care Medicare fraud scheme or home health care Medicaid scheme.
USDOJ: Tennessee-Based Home Health Care Provider & Related Entities Agree to Pay More Than $9 M to Resolve False Claims Act Lawsuit
"James W. Carell, CareAll Management LLC (formerly known as Diversifi ed He alth Mana gement Inc.), C are All Inc., the James W. Car ell Family Trust, V IP Home Nursing and Reh abilitation Servi ces L LC, Professional Home He alth Care L LC, University Home H ealth, LLC and Elizabeth Vining (as representative of the Estate of Robert Vining) have agreed to pay $9.375 million to the federal government. This payment is to resolve the lawsuit that the United States filed in 2009 alleging that they violated the False Claims Act, caused Medicare to pay out money through mistake of fact, and were unjustly enriched by falsely concealing the home health agencies’ relationship with their management company, the Justice Department announced today."
"VIP, Professional and University now operate under the name CareAll. James W. Carell and the related CareAll entities named above also agreed to be bound by the terms of a Corporate Integrity Agreement with the Department of Health and Human Services – Office of Inspector General (HHS-OIG)."
"CareAll and its related entities are one of the largest home health providers in Tennessee. This settlement resolves the United States’ lawsuit alleging that the CareAll entities fraudulently submitted eight cost reports for fiscal years 1999, 2000 and 2001 to support their Medicare billings. The United States alleged that these cost reports were false because they knowingly hid the relationship between the management company and the home health agencies. According to the complaint the United States filed in this case, the cost reports should have disclosed that the management company was related to the home health agencies, which would have lowered the Medicare reimbursement for the management company’s services. During the relevant years, the United States alleged that James W. Carell owned the management company, and his friend Robert Vining – an attorney who lived in Missouri – served as the nominee or “sham” owner of the home health agencies."
