A whistleblower case has ended in a $2.75 million settlement. A hospital, Johns Hopkins Bayview Medical Center, inflated its patient records so that it could receive greater reimbursements.
The whistleblower lawsuit, which was filed under the federal False Claims Act, yielded $550,000 for the two whistleblower employees.
Employees that blow the whistle on government fraud can receive up to 20% of the amount recovered.
