New law will encourage whistleblowers
LTC Liability Monitor, December 26, 2006
Most of the nation's hospitals and nursing homes will have to teach their employees how to find fraud and report it to the government under a federal law that takes effect next month, reported the New York Times. Starting January 1, companies that do at least $5 million a year in Medicaid business must educate all employees and officers on how to detect fraud, waste, and abuse. Moreover, healthcare providers must tell employees that if they report fraud, they will be protected against retaliation and may be entitled to a share of money recovered by the government, according to the Times.
