There’s a New Sheriff in Town: New DOJ Program Intends to Snare Even More FCA Fraudsters

Monitor Mondays

The U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) has a new whistleblower reward initiative called the DOJ Corporate Whistleblower Awards Pilot Program.

The Program, which seeks to fill gaps left by existing whistleblower reward programs, incentivizes whistleblowers to bring tips to the DOJ about types of healthcare fraud not already covered by the False Claims Act (FCA). According to Monitor Mondays special guest Mary Inman, the new Program raises the stakes for the entire healthcare industry, especially among those who typically ignore or disregard internal reports concerning whistleblowers.

Other segments during the next edition of the weekly Internet broadcast will include these instantly recognizable features:

• Monday Rounds: Ronald Hirsch, MD, vice president of R1 RCM, will be making his Monday Rounds.

• The RAC Report: Healthcare attorney Knicole Emanuel, partner at the law firm of Nelson Mullins, will report the latest news about auditors.

• Legislative Update: Cate Brantley, a senior government affairs liaison for Zelis, will report on current healthcare legislation.

• Risky Business: Healthcare attorney David Glaser, shareholder in the law offices of Fredrikson & Byron, will join the broadcast with his trademark segment.
