title: Recent False Claims Act and fraud and abuse statute cases and issuances.
abstract: Each of these cases and issuances is likely to substantially impact the health care lawyer. Specifically, the factual situation in the advisory opinion is likely to be duplicated extensively. Further, in False Claims Act defense situations, the defense that senior level management was not aware of the actions of a lower-level employee will likely be extensively tried (potentially with varying degrees of success).
