Whistleblower law

Published

I am very curious to know if the whistleblower act is passed in Pa? I was recently fired for being honest when the DOH of Pa came in for an inspection by my facility. It was over something petty but I kept my honesty at 1005 when the state inspector asked me, and after she left they fired me. I am still in very much in a state of shock.

Thanks,

Tina

state whistleblower laws in pa only applies to public employees at this time.

however if fraud involves billing for services to governemtn agency: medicaare, medicaid then can persue under false claims act. please seek legal assistance to see if you have a case.

I have seen cases on the internet for "whistleblower" with nurses reporting bad care and then being fired for reporting bad care. Why doesnt this apply to nurses?
