Standard Guidance

Reach US_FALSE_CLAIMS_ACT readiness without rebuilding your policy programme

The False Claims Act (FCA) imposes liability on persons + companies who defraud federal programs — including Medicare + Medicaid. Treble damages + civil penalties per claim ($13,946-$27,894 in 2024). Qui tam provisions allow whistleblowers (relators) to bring suits on behalf of the government + share in recovery (15-30%). Healthcare is the largest source of FCA recoveries — covering billing fraud, kickbacks-as-FCA-predicate (post-2010 ACA), worthless services, off-label promotion + DSH gaming. Driving force behind hospital + physician + pharma compliance programs. Quick Policy maps US_FALSE_CLAIMS_ACT into the policy families, controls, and evidence your team needs — and keeps it current between audits.
