Healthcare Qui Tam (“Whistleblower”) litigation has increased exponentially in the last 30 years, with over 6,000 Qui Tam cases resulting in over $27.5 Billion in settlements and judgments since 1987. Over the course of my career, I have found that a significant percentage of healthcare providers are unknowingly making themselves vulnerable to Qui Tam lawsuits because they are improperly and/or inaccurately coding claims that are submitted for processing and payment to Medicare Administrative Contractors (MACs) and state Medicaid agencies. I started CRAIGroup to help these providers get compliant and stay compliant with federal and state healthcare laws and regulations and mitigate their risk of potential Qui Tam lawsuits. — Craig Ratner, Founder and President
