The Federal False Claims Act prohibits contractors from defrauding the government. Many people in the health care field, as well as those who work for federal contractors, are unaware that federal law provides a remedy whereby persons with inside knowledge of fraudulent conduct can initiate litigation against the party responsible and share in the government's recovery. Whistleblowers are rewarded with 15% to 25% of the amount recovered by the government, if the government intervenes in the case, and up to 30% of the amount recovered, if the government does not intervene. In addition, the law provides remedies for employees whose investigation and reporting of fraudulent claims results in the termination of their employment.
