Depending on the specifics of the case, a False Claims Act expert witness may have a background as a medical expert, in health law, and/or healthcare fraud.
The Federal False Claims Act (FCA) is a law that imposes liability on a person who knowingly defrauds a government program. Claims under the law usually involve health care fraud, military, or other government spending programs. The government pursues perpetrators on its own, but the act also allows for a citizen (a “whistleblower” or “relator”) to file a qui tam suit on behalf of the government. For the 2020 fiscal year alone, the Department of Justice reported that more than $2.2 billion in settlements and judgments were obtained involving fraud or false claim against the government.
A related law, the Anti-Kickback Statute (AKS) prohibits any form of remuneration in exchange for the referral of services or products covered by any federal healthcare program (for example: drugs, supplies, or health care services for Medicare or Medicaid patients).
A False Claims Act expert witness should expect to provide an expert report, expert opinion, deposition testimony and expert witness testimony in the courtroom. In a high-profile case, or litigation involving a significant financial stake, the lead attorney may request a professional with prior expert testimony experience.
