Where Fraud Leads, We Will Follow: DOJ to Heighten Focus on Corporate Health Care Fraud, Health Care Executives, and Adequacy of Compliance

Promising that the Department of Justice (DOJ) will “follow evidence of health care fraud wherever it leads, including into corporate boardrooms and executive suites,” Assistant Attorney General Leslie Caldwell staked out DOJ’s heightened efforts to pursue “large-scale corporate health care fraud” through both criminal prosecutions and civil enforcement actions. In an April 18, 2016 speech to the Health Care Compliance Association’s 20th Annual Compliance Institute, AAG Caldwell also warned health care companies against compliance regimes that are mere “paper programs,” and signaled that when misconduct comes to light, the quality and effectiveness of a company’s compliance program will be an important factor that prosecutors will consider in determining whether to bring criminal charges.

Life Sciences Cases to Watch In 2015

Law360
Washington, D.C.-based partners, Terry Rea, of Crowell & Moring's Intellectual Property Group, and Keith J. Harrison, of the firm's Labor & Employment and Litigation groups, weigh in on two important cases in the life sciences arena. Harrison discusses Teva Pharmaceuticals USA, Inc.'s challenge of a California appellate decision that a generic-drug manufacturer can be held liable for failing to warn consumers of the side effects listed on the equivalent brand-name drug, which may potentially be taken up by the U.S. Supreme Court. "This is going to be a case that is going to further define the scope of federal preemption," Harrison said. Additionally, Rea talks about the Cuozzo Speed Technologies LLC suit, which argues that the Patent Trial and Appeal Board uses the incorrect standard during America Invents Act (AIA) proceedings, making it difficult for inventors to retain their patents.

Modern Healthcare
Troy Barsky, a partner in the firm's Health Care Group, is interviewed by Modern Healthcare to discuss how government investigators are likely to start wielding the False Claims Act even more aggressively than in the past. Barsky says, "the Justice Department's willingness to pursue huge False Claims cases on physician compensation against hospitals is new.

Barsky is the former director of the CMS Division of the Technical Payment Policy, Chronic Care Policy Group.
