Court Allows FCA Whistleblower Case Against UnitedHealthcare Over Medicare Advantage Billing

A federal district court has allowed a whistleblower to continue allegations that UnitedHealthcare of Georgia Inc. and others violated the False Claims Act by improper billing of Medicare Part C, also known as Medicare Advantage. The court found the whistleblower's claims sufficiently detailed regarding the timing, location, and nature of the alleged fraud to proceed with the case. This ruling partially denies the defendants' motion to dismiss the case, maintaining scrutiny on compliance with Medicare Advantage billing practices.
