Employees Who Report Medicare Fraud in California May Be Protected Under the State’s Whistleblower Laws

California takes workplace integrity seriously—especially when it comes to protecting employees who speak up about illegal conduct. One area where this protection is especially important is Medicare fraud, a form of healthcare fraud that can expose employers to significant civil and criminal penalties.

If you’re a California employee who has reported to an outside agency or your employer that your employer may be submitting false Medicare claims, overbilling, or engaging in other fraudulent practices, you may be wondering whether there are California laws that protect employees from reporting workplace violations.
