Coomer

Medicare Home Health Care Fraud, Medicare Illegal Kickbacks, and other Medicare Fraud Schemes At Retirement Communities Are On The Rise Costing Millions and Depriving Seniors of Essential Health Care by Texas Home Health Care Fraud Lawyer, Texas Retirement Community Fraud Lawyer, & Medicare Home Health Care Fraud Whistleblower Lawyer Jason S. Coomer

Medicare home health fraud in retirement communities is on the rise as some health care providers and businesses running large retirement communities are using Medicare billing fraud and Medicare kickback schemes to bill Medicare for services that are not provided and take advantage of seniors.  These fraudulent home health care service schemes and retirement community Medicare fraud 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.  

As such, the United States Department of Justice and Texas Home Health Care Medicare Fraud Lawyer, Jason S. Coomer, are encouraging Home Health Care Medicare Fraud Whistleblowers and Retirement Community Fraud Whistleblowers with evidence of systematic Home Health Care Medicare fraud or Retirement Community Medicare fraud to step up and blow the whistle on Medicare fraud schemes.
