In this episode of 1st Talk Compliance, Kevin Chmura is joined by Rachel Rose, JD, MBA, as they discuss the False Claims Act in detail. The FCA, one of five federal laws built to combat fraud, waste, and abuse, is the government's primary fraud fighting tool, with the healthcare industry paying the largest contributor in recoveries for over a decade. Learn not only about how to avoid running afoul of this law, but also some details of cases in which it was violated, and the repercussions those who did so faced. In addition, find out how a proper compliance program can protect your practice in various ways, including staying up to date on cybersecurity training. Kevin Chmura Rachel, welcome to the podcast. Thanks for joining us. Rachel V. Rose Thank you, Kevin, for having me back for another round of a very major healthcare compliance topic. Kevin Chmura It very much is, yeah. This one generates some revenue for the government. So this is one that I think especially in today's environment, people should be paying a lot of attention to. So as I said in the intro, we're here to talk about the False Claims Act. It's one of the most important fraud, waste and abuse laws that applies to physicians and health care practitioners of all kinds. The healthcare industry has consistently been one of the, if not the highest contributor to funds received under the False Claims Act. And it's essential to be familiar with the law and maintain compliance programs to mitigate that risk. Rachel, I know you spend a fair amount of time in your practice in and around the False Claims Act defending and representing customers and providers. So you're perfect to cover this topic for us. Wondering, though, if you could give us a brief synopsis of the False Claims Act and why is it unique? Rachel V. Rose Absolutely. So as you mentioned, my practice focuses a lot on the False Claims Act, and I am fortunate to do a lot of compliance work not only around the False Claims Act, but HHS. OIG has identified five important federal fraud, waste and abuse laws. The False Claims Act, the Anti-Kickback Statute, the Stark Law, the Exclusion Authorities, and the Civil Monetary Penalties. And Kevin, as you mentioned, the False Claims Act is really the federal government's primary fraud fighting tool. And in 2024, there were more than $2.9 billion in recoveries and, moreso healthcare represented over two thirds of that amount. That healthcare trend, as you mentioned, being the largest contributor, has gone on for at least the last decade. And what the False Claims Act does that makes it unique are really, I would say, five main things. But first, the False Claims Act goes back to 1863, and it is also known as the Lincoln Law. Its primary purpose, even back during the Civil War, was to root out fraud that was being perpetrated on the government. So how would that be done? Congress thought about it and said, well, the government could do it on its own if they caught wind of something, or they could insert a provision which gave an individual known as a relator, also known as a whistleblower, the potential to bring fraud to the government's attention and receive a portion of the recovery. It's very important to note that a relator and I represented several relators successfully, sometimes with co-counsel, sometimes with not, so I get to see the False Claims Act from the whistleblower standpoint as well. But this notion of being able to represent a whistleblower is the first distinguishing factor. And that's because most other civil cases, a person can represent themselves on a pro say basis, meaning they don't need a lawyer. There was a provision in the False Claims Act which in fact requires an individual to be represented by a lawyer. So unless the relator is a lawyer, then the individual needs to obtain counsel in order to file a False Claims Act case. That's the first thing. Secondly,
Episode 63 Enforcement Priorities of the Second Trump Administration: The False Claims Act The Deputy Attorney General of the United States has made it clear that the Department of Justice intends to enforce the False Claims Act (FCA) in a way it never has before: in the pursuit of civil rights fraud. Listen as host Matt Adams is joined by his Fox colleagues Jana Volante Walshak and Kevin Raphael to break down the DOJ's internal memo, titled “Civil Rights Fraud Initiative,” and explain how this new enforcement focuses on “illegal DEI” and impacts businesses and universities that accept federal funds. Matt, Jana and Kevin provide a history of the FCA from its origins in the Reconstruction Era up to present day. They also explore how the act's traditional compliance emphasis compares to the current administration's priorities, and detail the incentives to encourage whistleblowers. Additionally, they forecast how the FCA may be used to enforce other administration priorities in the coming years.
What if your trade compliance misstep became tomorrow's federal prosecution headline? In this episode, Michael Volkov issues a powerful warning to corporate leaders and compliance professionals: the DOJ is no longer treating trade violations as minor infractions—they're targeting them as fraud under the False Claims Act. With trade compliance now framed as a national security issue, this administration is on a mission to protect domestic industries and punish companies that cut corners. If your organization engages in international trade—especially with China—this episode is a must-listen.You'll hear him discuss:Why corporate leaders should not confuse the pause in FCPA enforcement with a wider drop in corporate prosecutions, as the DOJ is intensifying its focus on other high-risk areas like customs and trade complianceHow the False Claims Act is being used to prosecute companies for tariff evasion, misclassification of goods, and country-of-origin fraud, creating major new exposure for import-heavy businessesThe administration's positioning of trade compliance as a national security priority, which signals tougher penalties and more aggressive enforcement tacticsExamples of recent DOJ cases, including multimillion-dollar settlements with Barco Uniforms, International Vitamins Corporation, and Danco Laboratories, that highlight how quickly companies can become targetsThe expanding role of whistleblowers under new DOJ incentives, making it more likely that internal missteps will be reported and investigatedWhy supply chains involving China and other flagged jurisdictions are under heightened scrutiny, and how companies can prepare for increased oversightThe risks of becoming a public example of trade fraud, and the steps companies should take now to stay ahead of enforcement and protect their brand and bottom lineResourcesMichael Volkov on LinkedIn | TwitterThe Volkov Law Group

In a move that feels ripped from a dystopian satire, the Justice Department is now using the False Claims Act (yes, the one meant to catch fraud) to go after universities and institutions with diversity programs. Because under the Trump administration, fighting racism is now considered racist, and DEI efforts are somehow the real threat to America. Let's be clear, this isn't about fraud. It's about targeting institutions Trump sees as too liberal, too inclusive, or just too inconvenient. It's red meat for the base and a direct attack on the communities already fighting for visibility and opportunity. Don breaks it all down...the legal tactics, the political theater, and what this crackdown on DEI means for the future of equity in education and beyond. This episode is brought to you by Zbiotics.

The latest podcast episode of Veteran Oversight Now highlights the VA OIG's oversight work during April 2025, including three healthcare facility inspections reports on facilities in Tennessee, New York, and Colorado. April 2025 Monthly HighlightsEach month, the VA Office of Inspector General publishes highlights of our congressional testimony, investigative work, and oversight reports. In April 2025, the VA OIG published 12 reports that included 51 recommendations. Report topics varied from a review to determine whether claims processors are properly assigning effective dates for PACT Act-related claims to an inspection related to a patient's delayed diagnosis and treatment for lung cancer at the VA Eastern Kansas Healthcare System in Topeka and Leavenworth. VA OIG investigative efforts helped resolved allegations that a drug and alcohol rehabilitation facility, Seabrook House in New Jersey, submitted claims to VA's Community Care program and the state's Medicaid program for short-term residential treatment and partial hospitalization care for which it was not properly licensed or contracted and misled state inspectors. In a civil settlement, Seabrook agreed to pay $19.75 million to resolve False Claims Act allegations. Of this amount, VA will receive $19.15 million. Meanwhile, 12 employees of the Louis Stokes Cleveland VA Medical Center pleaded guilty to theft after receiving more than $396,000 in Pandemic Unemployment Assistance benefits by falsifying their applications and failing to disclose their employment and wages earned at VA, and a physician at the Bedford VA Medical Center in Massachusetts was arrested and charged in the District of Massachusetts with the receipt and possession of child pornography.Read the full monthly highlights.

On the surface, it was the perfect scam: kickbacks to docs in exchange for public speaking engagements, in order to induce them to prescribe drugs.That's apparently what Gilead Sciences thought.But a whistleblower blew the whistle, and Gilead admitted to paying hundreds of thousands of dollars to high prescribers of their HIV drugs to serve as speakers at programs at luxury restaurants.Famed whistleblower attorney Mary Inman, partner at Whistleblowers Partners, LLP, will report the savory details during the new live edition of Monitor Mondays, coming up at 10 a.m. EST on Monday, May 12.The long-running broadcast will also include these instantly recognizable features:• Monday Rounds: Ronald Hirsch, MD, vice president of R1 RCM, will be making his Monday Rounds.• The RAC Report: Healthcare attorney Knicole Emanuel, partner at the law firm of Nelson Mullins, will report the latest news about auditors.• Risky Business: Healthcare attorney David Glaser, shareholder in the law offices of Fredrikson & Byron, will join the broadcast with his trademark segment.• Legislative Update: Folan Houston, assistant general counsel for Zelis, will report on the news at the intersection of healthcare and congressional action.• Field Report: Dr. Drew Updike continues his reporting on recent efforts by the Trump Administration to prevent providers from undertaking gender-affirming treatments for America's LGBTQ+ population.

Whether you're a healthcare executive, general counsel, compliance officer, or FCA litigator, this episode offers critical takeaways on where enforcement is heading in 2025—and what smart organizations should be doing now to prepare.Tune in for a fast-paced, insight-packed conversation on the real-world legal battles redefining fraud, abuse, and accountability in the U.S. healthcare system.
The False Claims Act is the government's primary tool for redressing fraud against the United States. A party violates the Act when they knowingly submit a false claim for payment to the government. If a party is found to have violated the False Claims Act, they could be liable for significant treble damages and civil fines. Needless to say, government contractors, who regularly submit claims for payment to the government, must keep up with False Claims Act trends. In this episode of Bona Fide Needs, Tirzah Lollar and Christian Sheehan of Arnold & Porter examine recent False Claims Act developments. They discuss how the Trump Administration has impacted False Claims Act enforcement, a recent constitutional challenge to the Act's qui tam provision, and they provide an update on the Department of Justice's Civil Cyber Fraud Initiative.
Jay Holland has a national practice focusing on employment law. Along with better known areas such as civil rights, he practices in a niche area involving certain types of whistleblowers in what are known as Qui Tam cases. Qui Tam is not a martial art. Qui Tam allows a private individual to prosecute a case on behalf of the government, with incentives, when that individual(s) is/are blowing the whistle on fraud against the government. If I ever knew this existed, I long forgot it until I spoke to Holland. Jay shares with us the history of these laws and several war stories. I ask questions and pose hypotheticals. Some of which were actually useful to the conversation.In an era where a lot of people talk about fraud prevention and abatement, this is a timely exploration.
As political forces target Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion programs, companies reassessing their DEI strategies must tread carefully—because while the rhetoric has shifted, the law largely hasn't.Joining us on the Emerging Litigation Podcast is employment attorney Patice L. Holland of Woods Rogers, a Principal in the firm's, Roanoke, Va., offices, where she is co-chair of the Government & Special Investigations Practice. Patice unpacks what companies need to know as they reassess their Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) initiatives in light of recent executive orders and rising political pressure. Patice explains that while the administration has moved to eliminate disparate impact liability and deprioritize federal enforcement, core legal protections under Title VII and state laws like Virginia's Values Act remain fully intact. Employers—especially federal contractors—face complex new certification requirements and exposure to potential False Claims Act liability, while private businesses must weigh operational risk, employee morale, and public perception in their decisions. We also examine the ripple effects across corporate America—from Costco and Apple, which continue to invest in DEI, to Target and Amazon, which scaled back initiatives and faced backlash. Patice offers a practical roadmap for compliance, emphasizing clear communication, leadership buy-in, and smart risk assessment. Listen in as we explore what executive orders really change about DEI law, how obligations differ for government contractors and private companies, the legal and strategic risks of altering DEI policies, and the real-world business consequences of staying the course—or stepping back.

In the realm of False Claims Act (FCA) enforcement, state attorneys general (AGs) are increasingly collaborating with federal authorities and fellow state AGs to address allegedly fraudulent activities. Companies operating across multiple states are under heightened scrutiny, particularly in the healthcare sector, where compliance with regulations is critical. The United States Department of Justice (DOJ) highlighted this collaboration with state AGs in its announcement of FCA recoveries last year, noting that DOJ is working closely with state AGs to recover funds for both federal and state Medicaid programs. There also has been increased coordination targeting third-party investors, such as private equity and venture capital firms, to ensure that they conduct thorough due diligence and maintain robust compliance programs when investing in healthcare companies. This increased coordination aims to hold all parties accountable, from healthcare providers to their financial backers, in preventing and addressing alleged fraud. In the latest episode of MoForecast, Morrison Foerster partners Carrie H. Cohen, global co-chair of the Investigations + White Collar Defense Group and State + Local Government Enforcement team, and Adam Braverman, a partner in the Investigations + White Collar Defense Group, examine the current dynamics of state AG enforcement under the FCA. They explore the implications of multijurisdictional investigations and the growing involvement of third-party investors in healthcare fraud cases. Their discussion provides valuable insights for companies navigating these complex legal challenges, highlighting the importance of proactive compliance measures and strategic responses to enforcement actions. Tune in to the podcast to gain a deeper understanding of the future of state AG enforcement in the FCA arena. MoForecast is a podcast series discussing enforcement and policy trends we can expect from the new presidential administration. This episode continues our focus on state AGs, which aims to provide valuable insights for in-house counsel, compliance professionals, and defense lawyers navigating the evolving landscape of state AG enforcement.

What happens when a major defense contractor faces scrutiny for ethics and compliance violations? In this episode of Corruption, Crime, and Compliance, Michael Volkov dives into the high-stakes world of corporate accountability, exploring Raytheon's recent $428 million settlement with the U.S. Department of Justice. From fraudulent pricing to bribery and compliance lapses, we uncover the impact of these violations and the tough questions they raise about corporate governance, oversight, and ethical responsibility in high-stakes industries.Hear Michael talk about:Raytheon Company (Raytheon) -- a subsidiary of defense contractor, RTX (formerly known as Raytheon Technologies Corporation) — agreed to pay over $950 million to resolve the Justice Department's investigations into three areas of violation. The settlement addresses three main issues:A major government fraud scheme involving defective pricing on certain government contractsViolations of the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (FCPA) the Arms Export Control Act (AECA) and its implementing regulations, the International Traffic in Arms Regulations (ITAR)As part of the settlement, Raytheon entered into a three-year deferred prosecution agreement (DPA) and agreed to the filing of criminal information in the District of Massachusetts charging Raytheon with two counts of major fraud against the United States. Raytheon admitted to engaging in two separate schemes to defraud the Department of Defense (DOD) relating to the provision of defense articles and services, including PATRIOT missile systems and a radar system. Separately, Raytheon entered into a three-year DPA in connection with a criminal information in the Eastern District of New York charging Raytheon with two counts: conspiracy to violate the anti-bribery provision of the FCPA for a scheme to bribe a government official in Qatar and conspiracy to violate the AECA for willfully failing to disclose the bribes in export licensing applications with the Department of State as required by part 130 of ITAR.The Justice Department's FCPA and ITAR resolution is coordinated with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). Both DPAs require that Raytheon retain an independent compliance monitor for three years, enhance its internal compliance program, report evidence of additional misconduct to the Justice Department, and cooperate in any ongoing or future criminal investigations. Raytheon also reached a separate False Claims Act settlement with the Justice Department relating to the defective pricing schemes.ResourcesMichael Volkov on LinkedIn | X (Twitter)The Volkov Law Group

Summary Eric Rubenstein and Ron Chapman join The Compliance Guy to discuss the implications of a recent dismissal of a False Claims Act case based on the appointment clause. The guys explore the historical context of key tam cases, the role of relators, and the complexities surrounding the appointment clause. The conversation delves into the differences between dismissals with and without prejudice, the potential for Supreme Court involvement, and the impact of venue shopping on key tam cases. The episode concludes with a discussion on judicial appointments and their political implications. Takeaways Qui Tams are a significant part of healthcare fraud enforcement. The appointment clause raises questions about the authority of relators. Dismissals with prejudice are nearly final and limit future actions. The Supreme Court may be interested in conflicting rulings on key tam cases. Venue shopping can dilute the strength of a case. Judges may make decisions that align with their career interests. The appointment of special counsels has constitutional implications. Relators can receive a larger share if the government does not intervene. Resource limitations often lead to the government declining key tam cases. Judicial decisions can reflect broader political agendas. 00:00 Introduction to Key Tam Cases and the Appointment Clause 07:03 Exploring the Appointment Clause and Its Implications 14:03 Dismissal with Prejudice vs. Without Prejudice 16:19 The Future of Key Tam Cases in the Supreme Court 24:13 The Impact of Venue Shopping on Key Tam Cases 30:29 Judicial Appointments and Political Implications
