Goldberg Kohn proudly represents Dr. Robert Goldberg and June Beecham in their lawsuit against Rush University Medical Center, Midwest Orthopedics, LLC, Rush Surgicenter, Ltd. and Brian Cole, MD.
Based on these whistleblowers' bravery in coming forward to disclose their knowledge of activity at Rush University Medical Center, that entity will pay the United States and the State of Illinois more than $1.5 million. That payment resolves, however, only a portion of the allegations that these whistleblowers have made.
These whistleblowers continue to pursue their additional allegations against the Defendants, attempting to recover additional money for the United States and the State of Illinois. The whistleblower's remaining allegations involve claims about whether attending surgeons spent the required time supervising surgical residents in the operating room to justify billing the government.
Goldberg Kohn salutes the bravery and fortitude of Dr. Goldberg and Ms. Beecham. They have been pursuing their claims for more than five years, and they have made clear that they are eager to pursue the remaining claims.
