Summary
This article is about the whistler in relation to the fraud case which was settled down by giving approximately $270 million as a settlement fee. A whistler allegation was made against the Healthcare Partners Holdings LLC that it showed fake health insurance plans to the government in order to receive more money the account of taxpayers. They boosted the payments received from the federal government by overstating and overestimating the number of sick patients with them. This practice was ethically and legally very wrong and deserved a notice from the government in the form of heavy fine inserted on them. The money belonged to taxpayers which were given to them to treat the sick patients. This case also involved the illegal conduct with the patients as their health conditions were manipulated in the reports and they were not improved after the review. The personal data and reports of the patients were also shared to save the companies involved in the fraud case which led to the impeachment of BHT strict policies. It is considered highly unethical and violates the codes of honor in all aspects. The company also submitted the diagnostic codes which were not supported in any case but it was done to allow the health plans of aged patients to receive more payment from the government. The violation of the provision of diagnostic codes, charges of which were supposed to be paid by the government was done making the practice significantly unethical and breaking the code of honor. Practices like these should be stopped through whistleblowing as they are not only unethical but also damages the society and administration of many powerful institutions. Whistleblowing, in this case, should be appreciated and maintain to reveal the organizations that are involved in stealing the public money through wrong means.
