Do I have a case?
Can you provide us with information and evidence in these four areas:
Claim:
- Did the government get billed for an item or service
- Did someone retain a benefit to which they were not entitled
- Did the payment or part of the payment come from federal funds (e.g.,
state Medicaid funds are partially federal funds, and thus fraud on Medicaid
is fraud on the federal government)
- Do you have copies of the claim or invoice that you believe is false?
- Can you obtain these copies?
Falsity:
- Did someone make a false record or entry to justify the claim?
- Was the record false in more than just a technical sense (the government
rarely takes cases that involve honest mistake or error)
- Was the record submitted to the government?
- Do you have a copy of the documents or other evidenceshowing that the
records are false?
- Was there a false certification of a fact that the government requires as
a condition of payment?
Materiality:
- Did the false record and false invoice figure into the government's
decision to pay for the service or merchandise?
- Was the false record more than just an honest mistake?
- Do you have any evidence that shows that this was important to the
government's decision to pay?
Damages:
- Was the government made to pay more than it should have?
- How much more was the government made to pay?
- Can you establish the amount the government was damaged?
- Do you have copies of documents or evidence that shows this?
First To File
- Do you know of anyone else who has this information?
- Has anyone else gone to the federal government with this information?
Not Publicly Disclosed
- Has this information been published?
- Is anyone else aware of this information?
- Did this information show up in a court proceeding?
