title: Insurance policies may cover costs of False Claims Act litigation.
abstract: Expenses associated with the defense of a False Claims Act investigation or lawsuit may be covered by insurance. Such coverage may be available through a general liability policy, or in the case of not-for-profit organizations, through a provision added to the organization's directors and officers policy. In either instance, the extent of coverage is determined by the language used in the policy and state law governing interpretation of the insurance policy.
