The False Claims Act (FCA) has been a powerful tool used against health care providers by the Justice Department and whistleblowers. Defending against FCA investigations and litigation imposes a major cost and time burden on facilities and their employees, and FCA liability can lead to catastrophic financial exposure (not to mention negative publicity).
Understanding how the FCA may be used against the long term care industry − especially in light of the DOJ's launch of the Elder Justice Task Force − enables providers to take affirmative steps to protect themselves. Please join us as we highlight the FCA risk areas unique to various segments of the long term care community and discuss strategies to reduce your risk of FCA liability.
