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,
Adria Sheri English, a former go-go dancer, has made serious allegations against Sean "Diddy" Combs, claiming that she was forced to participate in sexual activities at his infamous "freak-off" parties. English, who has filed a lawsuit against Diddy, also revealed a list of high-profile celebrities she saw at these gatherings. Among the notable figures she claims were present are Donald Trump, Diana Ross (with her underage son Evan), Paris Hilton, Ja Rule, Busta Rhymes, and Reverend Al Sharpton. English expressed surprise at seeing some of these individuals, particularly Reverend Al Sharpton, at such controversial events.English alleges that while these celebrities attended the main parties, the "freak-offs" took place in secluded rooms away from the main events, suggesting that many of the partygoers may not have been aware of the more sinister activities happening behind closed doors. English also claimed that Diddy secretly recorded these encounters for potential blackmail purposes, further complicating the accusations against him.Courtney Burgess, a witness in the federal investigation against Sean "Diddy" Combs, testified before a grand jury that he possesses 11 flash drives containing sex tapes allegedly involving Combs and eight celebrities, including two to three minors. Burgess claimed these tapes were provided to him by Combs' ex-girlfriend, Kim Porter, before her death in 2018. He described the individuals in the tapes as appearing inebriated and suggested they were victims of Combs' actions..Additionally, Burgess stated that he has seen an unedited version of a memoir written by Porter, which contains detailed accounts of Combs' alleged physical and sexual violence. He mentioned that he was contacted by agents from the Department of Homeland Security and later subpoenaed by a federal grand jury to provide all relevant electronic devices. Burgess's testimony adds to the mounting allegations against Combs, who is currently facing charges including sex trafficking and racketeering.Also...During a recent interagency operation at the Metropolitan Detention Center (MDC) in Brooklyn, authorities seized drugs, homemade weapons, and electronic devices. The operation, involving the Bureau of Prisons, the Justice Department's inspector general, and other law enforcement agencies, aimed to address safety and security concerns within the facility. Officials stated that the sweep was part of a broader initiative and not in response to any specific threat or individual, including current detainee Sean "Diddy" Combs.The raid calls into question the point of the OIG report into Jeffrey Epstein's death, considering how many of the same issues are still present, even after the BOP was made aware of the issues. to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.com

This Semiannual Report to Congress summarizes the independent oversight efforts of the VA Office of Inspector General (OIG) from October 1, 2024, through March 31, 2025.Visit the VA OIG's website to read the full report. For this six-month period, the VA OIG identified nearly $3.3 billion in monetary impact for a return on investment of $28 for every dollar spent on oversight. These figures do not include the inestimable value of the healthcare oversight work completed to help save the lives of veterans and ensure their access to top-level medical care.During this period, the Office of Investigations opened 256 cases and closed 213 (most opened in prior reporting periods), with efforts leading to 144 arrests. The OIG hotline staff triaged more than 17,000 contacts to help identify wrongdoing and address concerns with VA activities. The related work resulted in 598 administrative sanctions and corrective actions.The Office of Audits and Evaluations (OAE) produced 47 work products, including one VA management advisory memoranda on VA's progress related to reducing overdose deaths. Also included were 16 oversight reports and 30 preaward and postaward contract audits and reviews to help VA obtain fair and reasonable pricing on products and services. OAE reports for the six-month period resulted in 146 recommendations for VA improvements.The Office of Healthcare Inspections (OHI) continued to provide the oversight necessary to assess VHA's delivery of high-quality care and leaders' efforts to build and uphold a culture that prioritizes patient safety. Of the 36 oversight products OHI published in the last six months, 10 were for-cause reports responsive to OIG hotline complaints. In addition to seven national reviews, OHI released 14 healthcare facility inspections, three care-in-the-community inspections, one mental health inspection, and one vet center inspection.The Office of Special Reviews (OSR) conducted 21 investigative interviews and issued one report addressing VA's lapses in oversight of a grantee providing transitional housing services to veterans at risk for homelessness. Also during this period, OSR reviewed 12 allegations of possible whistleblower retaliation involving VA contractor's employees or grantees.
The National Labor Relations Board's inspector general is conducting an investigation into the Department of Government Efficiency's work at the agency. In April, an IT staffer named Daniel Berulis filed an official whistleblower disclosure with Congress highlighting concerns over DOGE's practices at the NLRB and data that may have been removed from the agency. In response to the disclosure, Rep. Gerry Connolly, D-Va., ranking member of the House Oversight Committee, requested an investigation in a letter to Luiz A. Santos, acting inspector general of the Labor Department, and Ruth Blevins, inspector general at the NLRB. Timothy Bearese, an attorney at the NLRB currently serving as its acting director of congressional and public affairs, told FedScoop that the agency has no comment but “can confirm that the OIG is conducting an investigation, as requested by Ranking Member Connolly.” Back In April, Bearese told NPR that the NLRB had not granted DOGE access to agency systems. At that time, he also said that there had been a past investigation based on Berulis' concerns that “determined that no breach of agency systems occurred.” A spokesperson for House Oversight Committee Democrats told FedScoop on Thursday that “there are multiple investigations into Elon Musk's violations of sensitive investigatory information at the NLRB.” House Oversight Democrats are asking a Treasury Department watchdog to open an investigation into DOGE's data and IT modernization dealings at the IRS following reports of an internal “hackathon” at the tax agency that may have involved Palantir. In a letter sent Thursday to Heather Hill, acting head of the Treasury Inspector General for Tax Administration, House Oversight ranking member Gerry Connolly, D-Va., cited “deep concern” over reporting in Wired last month that revealed plans for a 30-day sprint where DOGE engineers and a third-party vendor — potentially the data analytics giant Palantir — would create a new application programming interface connected to taxpayer data. That API, Wired reported, would essentially serve as a storage center for all IRS data and enable agency systems to interact with unknown cloud services. Building a “mega API” is likely connected to plans for a “master database” that also pulls in data from the Department of Homeland Security and the Social Security Administration, according to Wired, part of a Trump administration effort to track and surveil immigrants. “The reported data centralization and integration effort could undermine intentional compartmentalization of IRS systems,” which raises “serious privacy questions,” Connolly wrote.

Hospice audits can have profound financial implications, particularly when the auditors use statistical extrapolation to identify an overpayment amount. The use of extrapolation runs across auditor types, including UPICs and the OIG, and can apply to Medicare and Medicaid. In this episode, Husch Blackwell's Meg Pekarske, Bryan Nowicki, and Emily Solum discuss recent experiences and successes in dealing with statistical extrapolations, as well as what the future of extrapolation looks like.

The Department of Justice's Office of the Inspector General (OIG) released a report examining the controversial 2007 non-prosecution agreement (NPA) granted to Jeffrey Epstein by the U.S. Attorney's Office in the Southern District of Florida. The report found serious missteps and poor judgment by federal prosecutors, particularly then-U.S. Attorney Alexander Acosta, who ultimately approved the deal. The OIG concluded that while there was no evidence of criminal misconduct or corruption, prosecutors displayed a stunning lack of urgency, failed to properly notify Epstein's victims as required by the Crime Victims' Rights Act, and sidelined a 53-page federal indictment in favor of a lenient plea deal that shielded Epstein and his unnamed co-conspirators from federal prosecution. The report criticized the secretive nature of the NPA and found that Acosta gave “too much deference” to Epstein's high-powered legal team.The report also exposed the government's unusual willingness to cooperate with Epstein's lawyers, including allowing them to essentially dictate the terms of the deal, such as minimizing public exposure and avoiding victim input. Despite mounting evidence of Epstein's exploitation of dozens of underage girls, the U.S. Attorney's Office prioritized avoiding litigation risks and potential political fallout over pursuing justice. Although the OIG did not recommend criminal charges against any of the involved officials, the findings fueled renewed calls for accountability and transparency in cases involving wealthy, well-connected defendants. The report paints a picture of a justice system that buckled under pressure from power and influence, enabling Epstein's abuse to continue for years.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:dl (justice.gov)

The OIG concluded that while there was no evidence of criminal misconduct or corruption, prosecutors displayed a stunning lack of urgency, failed to properly notify Epstein's victims as required by the Crime Victims' Rights Act, and sidelined a 53-page federal indictment in favor of a lenient plea deal that shielded Epstein and his unnamed co-conspirators from federal prosecution. The report criticized the secretive nature of the NPA and found that Acosta gave “too much deference” to Epstein's high-powered legal team.The report also exposed the government's unusual willingness to cooperate with Epstein's lawyers, including allowing them to essentially dictate the terms of the deal, such as minimizing public exposure and avoiding victim input. Despite mounting evidence of Epstein's exploitation of dozens of underage girls, the U.S. Attorney's Office prioritized avoiding litigation risks and potential political fallout over pursuing justice. Although the OIG did not recommend criminal charges against any of the involved officials, the findings fueled renewed calls for accountability and transparency in cases involving wealthy, well-connected defendants. The report paints a picture of a justice system that buckled under pressure from power and influence, enabling Epstein's abuse to continue for years.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:dl (justice.gov)

The Department of Justice's Office of the Inspector General (OIG) released a report examining the controversial 2007 non-prosecution agreement (NPA) granted to Jeffrey Epstein by the U.S. Attorney's Office in the Southern District of Florida. The report found serious missteps and poor judgment by federal prosecutors, particularly then-U.S. Attorney Alexander Acosta, who ultimately approved the deal. The OIG concluded that while there was no evidence of criminal misconduct or corruption, prosecutors displayed a stunning lack of urgency, failed to properly notify Epstein's victims as required by the Crime Victims' Rights Act, and sidelined a 53-page federal indictment in favor of a lenient plea deal that shielded Epstein and his unnamed co-conspirators from federal prosecution. The report criticized the secretive nature of the NPA and found that Acosta gave “too much deference” to Epstein's high-powered legal team.The report also exposed the government's unusual willingness to cooperate with Epstein's lawyers, including allowing them to essentially dictate the terms of the deal, such as minimizing public exposure and avoiding victim input.

DR Fred Whitehurst : FBI Whistleblower, OKC, TWA 800, OJ, Waco....moreFrederic "Fred" Whitehurst is an American chemist and attorney who served as a Supervisory Special Agent in the Federal Bureau of Investigation Laboratory from 1986 to 1998. Concerned about problems he saw among agents, he went public as a whistleblower to bring attention to procedural errors and misconduct by agents. The FBI agreed to 40 reforms to improve the forensic reliability of its testing. FBI careerDr. Whitehurst received a Ph.D. in chemistry from Duke University, and a J.D. from Georgetown University. He joined the FBI in 1982 and served as a Supervisory Special Agent in the FBI crime lab from 1986-1998.While he was employed by the Federal Bureau of Investigation Laboratory, the FBI officially rated Dr. Whitehurst as the leading national and international expert in the science of explosives and explosives residue. Concerned about a number of issues that he observed and by the behavior of agents in the laboratory, he began to investigate their procedures. He eventually uncovered and reported what he thought were cases of scientific misconduct, alleging that the agents were biased toward the prosecution. In the OIG's report of Whitehurst's allegations, it was concluded that,"most of Whitehurst allegations were not substantiated," and that Dr. Whitehurst had, "common sense and judgement to serve as forensics examiner. The FBI crime lab finally agreed to forty major reforms, including undergoing an accreditation process. During this period, to protect himself in administrative proceedings, Whitehurst hired Kohn, Kohn & Colapinto, a Washington, D.C. law firm specializing in defending whistleblowers.[1]Post-FBI yearsDr. Whitehurst currently serves as the Executive Director of the Forensic Justice Project (FJP). The FJP was formed in 1998 as a project of the National Whistleblower Center, a non-profit 501(c)3 organization. The goal of the FJP is to lead a national effort to accomplish the following:Review cases to make sure that innocent people have not been wrongfully convicted through the misuse of forensic science;Provide expert testimony in cases in order to assure that forensic science is not misused in civil and criminal prosecutions impacting on the public interest or the rights of individuals;Offer objective scientific evaluations of forensic evidence;Publish and distribute information necessary for an objective analysis of the quality and objectivity of forensic science and crime laboratories nationwide.Dr. Whitehurst practices criminal law in Bethel, North Carolina. He was elected to the commission of the town of Bethel.The DiariesIn March 2005, he and his brother Robert (also a Vietnam War veteran) brought the Đặng Thùy Trâm diaries to a conference on the Vietnam War at Texas Tech University. There, they met photographer Ted Engelmann (also a Vietnam veteran), who offered to look for the family during his trip to Vietnam the next month. With the assistance of Đỗ Xuân Anh, a staff member in the Hanoi Quaker office, Engelmann was able to locate Trâm's mother, Doãn Ngọc Trâm. He obtained connections to the rest of her family.[1]In July 2005, Trâm's diaries were published in Vietnamese under the title Nhật ký Đặng Thùy Trâm (Đặng Thùy Trâm's Diary), which quickly became a bestseller. In less than a year, the volume sold more than 300,000 copies, and comparisons were drawn between Trâm's writings and that of Anne Frank.[2][3]In August 2005, Fred and Robert Whitehurst traveled to Hanoi, Vietnam, to meet Trâm's family. In October of the same year, the Vietnamese family came to Lubbock, Texas, to view the diaries, which are archived at Texas Tech University's Vietnam Archive. They visited Fred Whitehurst and his family in his home state of North Carolina.The diaries have been translated into English and published in September 2007. The book includes photographs of Đặng during high school and with her family. Additional translations have been made and the book has been published in at least sixteen different languages.In 2009 a film about Đặng Thùy Trâm by Vietnamese director Đặng Nhật Minh, entitled Đừng Đốt (Do Not Burn It), was released. Dr. Frederic Whitehurst, an F.B.I. agent who served as a Supervisor at the FBI crime lab from 1986 to 1998, blew the whistle on irregularities at the lab. Whitehurst received his Ph.D. in chemistry from Duke University and his law degree from Georgetown University before joining the Federal Bureau of Investigation in 1982 The F.B.I. considered Whitehurst the world's top expert in the forensic science of explosives and explosives residue. While at the Lab, he investigated, uncovered and reported misconduct which forced the F.B.I. crime lab to agree to major reforms.For his crusade against corruption in the Lab, Whitehurst was forced to defend himself from retaliation by the Bureau. He was defended by David K. Colapinto of Kohn, Kohn & Colapinto, a Washington, D.C. law firm specializing in defending whistle-blowers. The FBI settled his whistle-blower case for over $300,000.Fred Whitehurst's revelations of F.B.I. misconduct have affected the course of many prominent cases, including the Waco Siege (he is featured in the 1999 documentary film Waco: A New Revelation (1999)) and the O.J. Simpson murder trial. He practices criminal law in the state of North Carolina.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-opperman-report--1198501/support.
