Whistleblower Rights & Qui Tam Claims
A whistleblower or “qui tam” action is a civil action filed by a private citizen on behalf of the federal government reporting false claims submitted to the government for payment. Examples include billing the government for duplicative or unnecessary services or over-billing the government for services. The person who brings this action is more commonly known as a whistleblower—and they hold protective whistleblower rights.
