Examples or Scenarios

Loss examples: 

While the False Claims Act imposes liability on all people and entities that have defrauded governmental programs, it has a special importance for healthcare. In fiscal year ending in 2017, the Department of Justice obtained $3.7 billion in False Claims Act recoveries. $2.4 billion of this was recovered from the healthcare industry. 

The 2017 False Claims Act annual recovery was the 8th consecutive year the DOJ’s recoveries have exceeded $3 billion, suggesting this is a new ‘normal’. 

While settlements have been reached in almost every US state, states that have enacted their own version of the False Claims Act can also seek recoveries through state government, resulting in higher total settlement amounts. 

The Qui Tam mechanism allows individuals with evidence of fraud against the federal programs to sue on behalf of the government. In 2017, whistle-blowers earned more than $392M in share awards.
