The licensed practical/vocational nurse (LP/VN) is working at a geriatric physician's office.
 
  The LP/VN has heard numerous complaints from older adult clients that the physician has sent bills to their insurance for times they were not at the office for a visit. The LP/VN saw the computer spreadsheet submitting bills to Medicare for services that were not provided because during the same times, the physician was seeing other clients in the office. The nurse wants to act according to the Federal whistleblower law. The nurse's best next action is to:
  A) gather sufficient documentation copies which the nurse retained to support allegations before reporting the information to a Federal agency.
  B) discuss the numerous complaints about billing (have names and information on paper) and the information found in the spreadsheet (printed out) with the employer.
  C) seek legal advice from an attorney regarding the state and Federal whistleblower laws and steps to take to protect herself from any harm.
  D) report the Medicare fraud via the Medicare Fraud Hotline and provide all necessary information.
