- FraudLooking back slightly, in February 2023, DOJ released its annual statistics for FY2022 FCA settlements and judgments, reporting over $2 billion in recoveries. While not the highest in terms of dollar amount, it is the second-highest number of settlements and judgments under the FCA in one year. For health care companies, there can be no doubt that DOJ’s enforcement eye remains squarely on them with more than 75% (over $1.7 billion ) of the total coming from that sector, including cases involving virtually every kind of market participant: drug and medical device manufacturers, durable medical equipment (“DME”) companies, home health and managed care providers, hospitals, pharmacies, hospice organizations, and physicians. To stress the importance of this significant amount, the $1.7 billion recovered by DOJ for health care fraud under the FCA only encompasses federal losses and does not cover any additional amounts recouped for state Medicaid programs.
- White Collar CrimesMost recently, on March 2, 2023, while speaking at the ABA’s annual white collar crime conference, Deputy Attorney General Lisa Monaco announced that DOJ is launching a three-year test program that will offer reduced fines to corporations that commit crimes if the company acts to claw back compensation previously paid to executives and employees responsible for the illegal conduct. Additionally, DOJ will require companies that reach a criminal resolution to restructure compensation and bonus programs to punish bad behaviors in the future. Monaco stated in her remarks: “Nothing grabs attention or demands personal investment like having skin in the game, through direct and tangible financial incentives.” This announcement is an extension of the efforts previously announced by DOJ, and is also tied to the Department’s recent changes to the Corporate Enforcement Policy announced in late-February 2023.
