SUMMARY:Qui Tam Section: [VIRTUAL] The FCA and Gatekeeper Fraud
DESCRIPTION:**Program hosted in (ET) Time Zone** \nThe federal government is increasingly relying on private “gate-keepers” to certify\, credential\, or otherwise approve participants in Government programs (both individuals and entities) to ensure adherence to regulatory standards. For example\, JCAHO certifies hospitals\, NCQA certifies MCOs\, HQAA certifies DME suppliers\, and other entities approve EHR software used by various health systems. When do relators have a viable FCA claim if there is fraud in the certification and/or credentialing process\, either on the gate-keeper by companies seeking to obtain necessary approval to obtain access to government programs and funds\, or by the gate-keeper performing the quasi-governmental function? What are the unique challenges of these types of FCA cases? What defenses might be raised? Looking ahead\, how might these cases impact future FCA cases relating to the misuse of AI devices? Or to the activities of quasi-governmental entities like DOGE? \nRegister Now!\nPresented by the FBA Qui Tam Section \n\nPresenters\nMODERATOR \n \nEdward Baker\nLieff Cabraser Heimann & Bernstein \nSPEAKERS \n \nOwen Foster\nPhillips & Cohen \n \nJay McCormack\nVerrill \n \nKevin Lownds\nOffice of the Attorney General\, Massachusetts \n\nRegistration\nRegister Here! \n\nFBA Members: $0\nNon-Members: $0\n\n\nCLE\nPlease note that CLE credit is not offered for this webinar. \n\nEmail Communication Policy \nBy registering for this event\, you agree to receive email communications from the Federal Bar Association and affiliated sponsors of the program concerning event details\, Continuing Legal Education certification\, programming changes\, upcoming events\, surveys\, and post-event communications. \nRecording Disclaimer \nBy registering for an FBA webinar\, you agree to the recording of audio and visual content presented during the live event and consent to subsequent use of the recording by the FBA.
