I didn't receive any information that this was being done too me. Or that a case was being filed against me. I just got a phone call telling me I was terminated and cannot work for my other client. Or any place that takes Medicare. How can I defend myself against these false allegations?
Regarding your disqualification with the OIG once you receive a mark against you, it’ll be very difficult if not impossible to get that cleansed from your record.
I am sorry this happened. What were the grounds for dismissal?
If you are an employee of the Department of Human Services, call your line manager. Your employer must advise you about what to do, for example explaining what happens next about the allegations and where you can get help with having yourself represented.
If you are a contractor, you could contact one of the professional associations for people working in the elder care sector and see if they can advise you.
If it's too complex, you might need the help of a good attorney to fight for you.
I think it's important that you fight this false allegation or else you will have trouble finding employment.
