In October 2011, Columbia University Medical Center in New York City agreed to pay nearly $1 million to settle allegations brought under the FCA. The government's complaint alleged that a urologic oncologist at Allen Hospital (which is part of New York-Presbyterian Hospital but is on land owned by Columbia University Medical Center) had engaged in improper billing and that Columbia and Presbyterian Hospital failed to stop these practices even after learning of what Columbia described internally as "alarming" compliance issues related to the doctor. In particular, the government alleged that the physician performed noninvasive diagnostic tests that were medically unnecessary and that he billed for more services than possible to perform in a given day. The agreement settled and dismissed the allegations against the physician as well as the two hospital entities; the physician was not required to pay any monies.

DOJ Recovers More Than $3 Billion in False Claims Act Cases

In FY 2011, DOJ recovered more than $3 billion in settlements and judgments in civil cases involving fraud against the government, and almost all of this sum (a record high of $2.8 billion) was recovered under the whistleblower provisions of the False Claims Act. Of the $3 billion total, $2.4 billion involved fraud against federal health care programs, mostly Medicare and Medicaid, with $2.2 billion coming from the pharmaceutical industry. In addition to the FCA cases, DOJ obtained $1.3 billion in criminal fines, forfeitures, restitution, and disgorgement under the FDCA.
