Doctor Could Get Millions For Blowing the Whistle

A Manhattan doctor could reap a huge paycheck for exposing Medicaid fraud.

Federal prosecutors say Dr. Gabriel Feldman helped uncover New York City's attempt to bilk taxpayers out of more than $60 million by overbilling Medicaid. If prosecutors are successful in their attempt to recover the cash, Feldman stands to get a 15% to 20% cut of the money because of the city's whistleblower tax.

That means Feldman could receive $9 to $12 million for exposing fraud.

The feds say the city improperly approved 24-hour home care for thousands of low-income, elderly patients, even against the recommendations of doctors paid to review the cases.
