When John Schilling, an unassuming midlevel accountant, joined
Columbia Healthcare Corporation --the nation's fastest growing and
revolutionary network of public hospitals -- it seemed like the
start of an exciting new career with great advancement and earnings
potential. He never expected to become a catalyst for the series of
"whistleblower" lawsuits that ripped through the healthcare
industry in the late 1990sIn Undercover, John Schilling tells the
story of his harrowing journey from ordinary citizen and loyal
employee to covert FBI informant and top witness for the Justice
Department in the largest criminal healthcare fraud case in U.S.
history. It began when he stumbled upon evidence-- a $3.5 million
accounting "error"--of his company's routine practice of defrauding
Medicare. When pressured to comply with stealing from taxpayers,
Schilling knew he had to speak up for what he believed was right,
regardless of the cost to his job, his reputation, and his family.
His courageous choice would consume the next seven years of his
life, leading to more drama, angst, turmoil, and money than he
could have imagined. Ultimately, Schilling's moral conviction and a
little known law, the False Claims Act, paid off by forcing the
formidable healthcare conglomerate of Columbia/HCA to pay back $1.7
billion to the federal government.Revealing the personal side of a
thankless role, Undercover is a gripping and inspiring account of a
long, hard, life-- changing quest for justice. ADVANCE PRAISE FOR
UNDERCOVER"Undercover crackles with authenticity as it recounts in
a lively, readable style how a man on the inside risked everything
and blew the whistle on a giant healthcare company that was
systematically looting the Medicare program out of billions. A good
read for anyone, but a must-read for someone who may contemplate
taking the same path as John Schilling" -- John R. Phillips, "The
nation's premier whistleblowing attorney" according to the The Wall
Street Journal and the National Law Journal"John Schilling's book
is a must-read for whistleblowers. He shows you how hard it can be,
yet also shows you how to prevail. Best of all, John shows you how
to be a good citizen" -- Jim Moorman, past President, Taxpayers
