    False Claims Act Enforcement and Investigations
    In 2015, the government reported a significant number of new False Claims Act (FCA) actions and approximately $3.5 billion in FCA judgments and settlements. It was also a record-breaking year for whistleblower recoveries in non-intervened FCA cases. These high stakes, coupled with the erosion of traditional FCA defenses, the DOJ’s aggressive policies on FCA investigations, more streamlined government intervention decisions, and courts’ acceptance of novel theories of FCA liability, continue to change the landscape for FCA enforcement. Take a closer look at this new age of FCA enforcement and investigations and what that means for the healthcare industry.
