Of the $2.2 billion in False Claims Act (FCA) settlements and judgments that the Department of Justice (DOJ) reported in fiscal year 2022, $1.7 billion related to matters involving the health care industry. That staggering number reflects only federal losses, with the DOJ recovering additional amounts for state Medicaid programs. In a year of tightening scrutiny—including new priorities on pandemic relief programs and cybersecurity violations—entities across the health care spectrum found themselves in the government’s crosshairs, including drug, device and medical equipment manufacturers; home health and managed care providers; hospitals; pharmacies; hospice organizations; and physicians.
