Can I tell others I am a potential whistleblower?
A whistleblower lawsuit must be filed “under seal.” That is, it does not immediately become public while the government investigates the allegations.

Why should I be a healthcare whistleblower?
There are many valid reasons to become a whistleblower, including your own personal sense of justice and desire to hold fraudsters accountable for their actions. You may also be entitled to up to 30% of any recovery in a successful case, which can be a life-changing amount.
Healthcare whistleblowers are especially needed.
