What is the definition of pharmaceutical fraud?

Pharmaceutical fraud is a serious offense in which pharmaceutical corporations or healthcare practitioners engage in fraudulent techniques to increase profits, frequently at the expense of patients and government healthcare systems. Pharmaceutical fraud commonly involves the illicit advertising of pharmaceuticals for unauthorized applications (off-label marketing), paying kickbacks to doctors or other healthcare providers to induce the prescription of specific drugs, misrepresenting clinical trial data, and inflating drug costs.

Pharmaceutical fraud also includes filing false claims for reimbursement to government programs like Medicare and Medicaid, such as charging for prescriptions that were never provided or exaggerating drug costs. These tactics not only rob the government, but they also endanger patients' health by promoting inefficient or dangerous drugs. At The Whistleblower Advocates, we understand the complexity of pharmaceutical fraud and are dedicated to assisting whistleblowers in exposing unethical behavior. Coming forward can help preserve public health and hold pharmaceutical firms accountable for their conduct.

Do I have to hire an attorney to report pharmaceutical fraud?

While you are not legally obligated to hire an attorney to report pharmaceutical fraud, working with a trained counsel is strongly recommended. Pharmaceutical fraud cases are extremely complicated, requiring extensive legal and regulatory understanding. Whistleblower Advocates are professionals in this sector, and we can walk you through the whole process, from reviewing your case to filing a whistleblower action under the False Claims Act or other applicable statutes.

The Whistleblower Advocates' attorneys will assist you in gathering and presenting evidence, navigating legal procedures, and ensuring that your rights are safeguarded throughout the proceedings. We also endeavor to secure your identity and shield you from any reprisal by your employer, which is a typical fear among whistleblowers. Furthermore, our attorneys can increase your prospects of earning a financial compensation if the lawsuit results in the government's successful fund recovery.
