The Department of Justice (DOJ) said Thursday that last year it reached about $1.8 billion in settlements in health care fraud and false claims cases against the government.
The DOJ said the recovered funds stemmed from cases involving “the health care industry, including drug and medical device manufacturers, managed care providers, hospitals, pharmacies, hospice organizations, laboratories, and physicians” in fiscal 2020. The Justice Department said it also played a role in recovering tens of millions of more dollars for state Medicaid programs.
“Even in the face of a nationwide pandemic, the department’s dedicated employees continued to investigate and litigate cases involving fraud against the government and to ensure that citizens’ tax dollars are protected from abuse and are used for their intended purposes,” said acting Assistant Attorney General Jeffery Bossert Clark.
