MI, UNITED STATES, March 9, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Brown, LLC represented the whistleblower in an approximately $764,000 False Claims Act (FCA) settlement with Troy Sleep Center PLC, Care One Medical Equipment and Supplies, Inc., and their owners.
The settlement, announced by the United States Attorney’s Office for the Eastern District of Michigan, resolves allegations that the defendants improperly billed federal healthcare programs, including Medicare and Medicaid, and obtained Paycheck Protection Program (“PPP”) funds while engaged in the alleged misconduct.
The case arose from a whistleblower action filed under the qui tam provisions of the False Claims Act, which permit private individuals to bring lawsuits on behalf of the United States and share in any recovery.
Troy Sleep Center PLC provides sleep disorder diagnostic services, while Care One Medical Equipment and Supplies, Inc. supplies equipment used to treat sleep-related conditions.
“Healthcare fraud schemes often come to light because someone inside the organization is willing to speak up,” said Jason T. Brown, head of the whistleblower law firm Brown, LLC. “Whistleblowers play a critical role in protecting taxpayer-funded programs and ensuring that providers who misuse federal healthcare and pandemic relief funds are held accountable.”
