Part 2 - A Look at the Top False Claims Act Developments of 2020

Webinar | 02.18.21, 8:00 AM EST - 9:00 AM EST

Like all other aspects of life, the COVID-19 global pandemic had a dramatic effect on False Claims Act (FCA) enforcement in 2020. Please join members of Crowell & Moring’s Government Contracts and Healthcare Groups as they explore the most significant FCA developments across industries in this two-part webinar series.


Part 2 of the series will highlight top FCA developments in the healthcare space and looks ahead to what is in store for providers and payors in 2021. We will discuss how COVID-19 has left a sizable imprint on that FCA landscape, including the formation of COVID-19 fraud task forces in U.S. Attorney’s offices across the country and the reason that DOJ investigations stalled for months. We will discuss the large dollar settlements and significant rulings from courts across the country.
