False Claims Act Attorney Discusses Prior Rewards and Statistics

As attorneys that represent individuals who want to seek a claim under the False Claims Act for a qui tam violation by a company, we wanted to advise that the Justice Department has decided to join a False Claims lawsuit against the Health Management Associates, Inc. (HMA) hospital chain.  HMA is currently the nation’s third largest for profit hospital chain and the Justice Department has joined a lawsuit against it and its former CEO and President, Gary D. Newsome for engaging in a scheme to boost company profits and defraud Medicare and Medicaid by unlawfully inducing and pressuring hospital emergency room doctors to increase the rate of ER to hospital admissions over the period of least four years.

The lawsuit in question was brought by Jacquelyn Meyer, a former administrator with MEMCARE, the nation’s leading provider of emergency room physician services and a major contractor for HMA.  The lawsuit, which was filed under seal on July 15, 2011 in the United States District Court for the District of South Carolina, it was first made public on January 6, 2014.  The complaint alleges that to curry favor with HMA, EmCare acted as a “willing and equally corrupt partner” in the alleged scheme to pressure ER physicians to admit more patients.  The complaint also seeks damages from EmCare for allegedly terminating Ms. Meyer, who managed EmCare’s contracts with 20 HMA hospitals, after she refused to coerce more doctors to admit more patients.
