In 2011, Wilbanks & Gouinlock represented a senior executive who discovered that company partners were engaged in false Medicare billing, submitting fraudulent claims totaling over $2 million. The whistleblower came forward with critical internal evidence, helping expose serious violations of federal healthcare billing laws.
Instead of resolving the case through settlement, the firm pursued the matter in court—taking the false Medicare claims trial to verdict. The result was a decisive win for the whistleblower and a strong message that fraud against the government will not go unchecked.
This courtroom success underscores the firm’s ability to effectively litigate complex healthcare fraud matters and deliver results. It also highlights the powerful impact whistleblowers can have when they speak up against wrongdoing. The case remains a landmark example of a successful false Medicare claims trial.
