FALSE CLAIMS

The Firm handles numerous qui tam actions under the United States False Claims Act, particularly in health care related areas.  Many of these cases, including several very large prosecutions, are "under seal" and therefore cannot be disclosed.  Recent successfully concluded False Claims Act cases include U.S. ex rel. Hutcherson v. Medshares, Inc. (U.S.D.C., E.D.VA) (multi-million dollar settlement for over charges to Medicare against home healthcare provider); U.S. ex rel. Brouder v. Polaroid Corp. (U.S.D.C., D. Mass.) (multi-million dollar settlement for overcharges to federal government in sale of film); and U.S. ex rel. Brookhart v. Integrated Health Services, Inc. (U.S.D.C., S.D. Iowa) (overcharges to Medicare in the sale and leasing of durable medical equipment).
