Legal Nurse Consulting News: NEW POLICIES AND ANNOUNCEMENTS
RN Market has been making big changes recently. In 2010, we introduced our new finance program! This system has improved RN Market's ability to become one of the most affordable ways to become an Advanced Legal Nurse Consultant (ALNC), as well as upgrade to the Elite and/or Expert Curriculum.
Over the past several months, we have noticed that our nurses are busier than ever. This has lead to a high amount of re-certifications and association renewals to be put on the back burner. We have improved our ALNC & IAALNI notifications by providing 90/60/30 day courtesy expiration emails. We will also give a call on or before your expiration date to make sure you have received your renewal options. This is why it is important to notify us if your email or phone number or address changes.
Starting on May 20, 2011, our new policy for ALNC expirations are as follows: we are offering a 90-day grace period to bring your certification current, with a $250 charge. After 90-days, you will receive a letter if you have not renewed. This letter states you MUST remove your ALNC credentials in the use of privileges, rights and entitlements once issued by the LNI Institute for your Certification. If renewals are not obtained within the 90-day grace period, you must contact RN Market for further instructions.
Our IAALNI Association is a great way to network. We do suggest that all members fill in ALL profile information as soon as purchased. When we have cases and need specific nurses and/or experts, we will search the Association website first before sending out a mass email. This is a "must", to ensure future job opportunities for you and your career.
These are a few of the new policies that will ensure and maintain our standards of practice for our current ALNC nurses. We thank you for your commitment to the Advanced Legal Nurse Consulting field and to RN Market. Please call in to keep us updated on all of your success stories. We love to share your achievements with upcoming nurses, who are contemplating entering this dynamic field.

LEGAL NURSE NEWS: FORENSICS- The Present, Past, and Future
FORENSICS- is the application of a broad spectrum of sciences used to answer questions of interest to a legal system in relation to a crime or a civil action. Many Legal Nurses have expanded their practice by adding forensic training to their repertoire. Forensic science is used to investigate criminal cases involving a victim, such as assault , robbery, kidnapping, rape, murder and civil cases such as forgeries, fraud, or negligence. Due to advancement in technology in the past decade, many cold cases have been brought back to life.
For instance, in 2001, the combination of two different types of DNA tests, the short tandem repeats test (STR) with polymerase chain reaction (PCR), allowed investigators to re-exam evidence which enabled them to amplify and compare samples. These tests proved indispensable, allowing scientists to sequence and copy very short fragments of DNA taken from crimes scenes. Together, these tests closed a 20-year-old cold case, The Green River Killer.
Gary Ridgeway, after confronted with the genetic evidence, pleaded guilty to killing 48 women, mostly prostitutes, during the period of 1982-2001. He was sentenced to 48 consecutive life sentences with no chance at parole.
A report posted on creativityinserialkillers.com, by N.A. Anderson, states that, "Ridgeway confessed that he continued his rampage because he felt that he could get away with it for several reasons: The women he victimized were runaways or prostitutes so no one would go looking for them immediately." But luckily for the Forensic Analyst, Ridgeway did not always wear condoms and left semen in four of the many corpses. This oversight by Ridgeway provided DNA to be retested 19 years later, which helped catch and convict the Green River Serial Killer.
Many of the experts that contributed to this case specialized in DNA identification of decomposed or damaged remains, DNA forensics, STR-PCR, etc. For years, local prosecutors send their samples to private labs for testing due to the lack of Experts in this field. Dr. Barry Logan, forensics crime lab director in Washington, has submitted a plan to meet increasing demands for DNA testing. He has asked for 4 million dollars to hire about 40 more scientists and improve equipment and facilities.
According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS), job growth for forensic scientists will increase by 20 percent or more between 2008-2018. Most work for the local government, followed by state governments, hospitals, investigation and security services, and labs. For more information on how to become a Certified Forensic Criminal Evidence Analyst, please call 866-933-2562.

LEGAL NURSE NEWS: THE MEDICARE STRIKE FORCE'S ATTACK
The Medicare Strike Force was established in 2007 as part of the Health Care Fraud Prevention & Enforcement Action Team (HEAT). This multi-agency team of federal, state, and local investigators was developed to shut down large-scale Medicare schemes operating throughout the country and safeguard taxpayer dollars. Their aggressive fight against health care fraud is operating in 9 districts throughout the U.S. They announced last month their expansion to two additional cities. Advanced Legal Nurse Consultants and Certified Legal Nurse Investigators are trained to spot Medicare fraud. More than 1,000 individuals have been charged with falsely billing the Medicare program for more than $2.3 billion. These individuals include doctors, nurses, health care company owners and executives, who are accused of various healthcare fraud-related crimes. Some of the crimes included conspiracy to defraud the Medicare program, violations of anti-kickback statutes, criminal false claims, money laundering and aggravated identity theft.
In March 2011, a Las Vegas woman pled guilty to falsely representing and owning a fraudulent medical supply company that billed Medicare for more than 3.5 million. Medicare reimbursed her company with approximately $1.7 million. Jummal Joy Ibrahim admitted between January 2006 and September 2009 she allowed her brother to use her identity to start Contempo Medical Supplies. Ibrahim claimed she did not know anything about the business and never intended to have any role in the operations or share its profits, according to the documents.
In Houston a few days earlier, Sunny Robinson was convicted of 19 counts of healthcare fraud and anti-kickback violations for the fraudulent claims to Medicare and Medicaid. His profit on these claims accumulated to the amount of $4.3 million.
These are just a few examples of the indictments going on involving the Medicare Strike Force. Due to the courageous whistleblowers coming forward on these cases, more of these cases are being reported. As a whistleblower, you may be entitled to a whistleblower reward of 15-25% due the provisions in the False Claims Act. If the government is not involved in the case, the whistleblower can pursue the case, resulting in a reward of 25-30%. To evaluate the strength of the complaint, contact a qui tam attorney.
In just two years, the Medicare Strike Force has quadrupled the number of anti-fraud teams and recovered a record of $4 billion on behalf of taxpayers. For more information on how to become a Certified Legal Nurse Investigator (CLNI), please call 866-933-2562.
