SUMMARY:Webinar: Fighting Fraud in a Pandemic: The False Claims Act’s New $2 Trillion Battlefield - Part I
DESCRIPTION:Join us for this Two Part Series on May 1 & 8\, 2020.\nThe federal False Claims Act (FCA) was born more than 150 years ago in a time of war. Now\, amid another national crisis\, the venerable statute will again be deployed in the fight against COVID-19 fraud. Originally aimed at profiteers who sold worthless goods to the Union Army\, the FCA has long been a tool against fraudulent claims on federal taxpayer money. With $2 trillion starting to flow into the U.S. economy under the CARES Act\, much of it based solely on the self-representation of recipients\, the U.S. Department of Justice will rely on the FCA to pursue an inevitable wave of stimulus fraud. This two-part webinar will sketch the new FCA landscape for attorneys on all sides of the issue\, from whistleblower lawyers and AUSAs to defense attorneys and in-house counsel. The first session will focus on healthcare fraud in a new and changing environment of CMS rule revisions and regulatory waivers\, Stark Act waivers\, hard-to-police treatments including telemedicine\, and unethical practices such as fraudulent COVID-19 testing and treatments\, kickbacks\, identity theft\, stockpiling and price gouging. The second session will examine grant fraud\, the SBA Paycheck Protection Program (PPP)\, and procurement fraud—and also will focus on the DOJ’s COVID-19 fraud and enforcement structures in light of this pandemic. We’ll conclude with a look at the pandemic’s effect on ongoing FCA cases\, offering tips on how to navigate the new landscape. \nRegister just once to attend both parts of this TWO PART SERIES. Part II takes place at the same time a week later\, on May 8\, 2020. \nRegistration is now closed\n\nAbout the Presenters\nDeidre Lamppin Colson\,  Assistant U.S. Attorney\, Southern District Of Alabama\nFor the past 12 years\, Deidre L.
