Cash Whistleblower Awards for Reporting New Mexico Healthcare Fraud
New Mexico healthcare professionals have the best inside access to cases of Medicare or New Mexico Medicaid fraud. State and federal healthcare programs rely on billing specialists, medical coders, physicians, registered nurses, pharmacy technicians, physician assistants, therapists, paramedics, nursing home workers, hospice personnel, medical device sales reps, laboratory workers, health information technicians and others to bring False Claims Act violations to light.
Common examples of Medicare and New Mexico Medicaid fraud include:
- Billing higher rates for beneficiaries
- Falsifying medical documents
- Feigning diagnoses
- Misuse of opioids
- Medically unnecessary services
- Billing for nonexistent or substandard services or products
- Marketing drugs or devices for uses not approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration – “off labeling”
- Altering medical records
- Offering gifts or cash in exchange for patient referrals – “kickbacks”
- Upcoding or unbundling procedure charges
With years of experience, our local New Mexico healthcare whistleblower attorneys represent whistleblowers in both federal and state court and will maximize your well-deserved cash award.
We can represent clients working with healthcare facilities and groups anywhere in the United States including New Mexico, including University of New Mexico (UNM) Hospitals, Presbyterian Hospital, Loveless Medical Center, Christus St. Vincent, DaVita and Genesis (nursing home provider).
The State of New Mexico brought actions against Preferred Care in 2018 for misuse of state Medicaid monies as well as mistreatment of residents. That same year a New Mexico physician, Orrin McLeod, paid $300,000 to settle charges that he was billing for patient services while not even in the country. His Edgewood NM office is now permanently closed.
In 2017, the Justice Department fined Christus St Vincent Regional Medical Center in Santa Fe. The company paid $12.24 million to settle claims that it made illegal donations. The whistleblower in this case, a former Los Alamos County Indigent Healthcare administrator, was paid a $2.249 whistleblower reward.
New Mexico Medicare fraud is certainly not a victimless crime. Since Medicare and Medicaid is paid with tax dollars, government healthcare fraud hurts taxpayers everywhere in the state. Fraud involving medically unnecessary procedures, misuse of opioids and substituting lesser qualified workers to treat patients is also a patient safety risk. Fraud also prevents patients legitimately in need from receiving much needed services.

Unique New Mexico False Claims Act Opportunity – OIL ROYALTIES
New Mexico is one of the largest oil producing states in the nation. And much of the state is public land, either state or federal. When oil and gas companies drill on public lands, the owner of the land (the federal government or New Mexico) is entitled to a royalty payment. These payments are based on the price and amount of product extracted from the wells.
Some unscrupulous drillers overinflate expenses or lie about production. That results in lower royalty payments and loss to taxpayers. Both the federal and New Mexico false claims acts can be used to recoup this money from greedy oil companies. Because the false claims laws carry triple damages, rewards can increase quickly.
New Mexico Whistleblowers Subject to Strict Time Limits – Don’t Delay
New Mexico and Congress have set strict time limits for filing whistleblower claims. Perhaps more importantly, only the first whistleblower to report fraud is eligible for a cash reward. Whistleblower filing procedures must be followed correctly from the very start of your case. Those procedures include filing a sealed complaint in court. Let us explain how Mahany Law’s unique process for maximizing whistleblower claims can work for you.
