One of the greatest risks facing health care providers and federal government contractors is the potential for liability under the False Claims Act (FCA).

If found to have knowingly presented false claims for payment to the federal government, these groups face treble damages and civil penalties as high as $23,331 per violation. Those damages and penalties can quickly grow into the millions and tens of millions of dollars. That is naturally a great risk to those who seek reimbursement from the federal government, especially if the reimbursement sought is low but is sought frequently.
