Marlan Wilbanks to Discuss Halifax Stark Settlement at ABA Health Fraud Institute

On May 15, 2015, Marlan Wilbanks will speak at the ABA Health Fraud Institute in Miami, Florida, where he will participate in a high-profile panel examining the landmark Halifax Stark settlement.

The panel will provide a behind-the-scenes look at how the case developed, the legal arguments involved, and the negotiation dynamics that led to the record-breaking resolution.

Lessons from a Landmark FCA Case

Attendees will gain rare insight into the legal, compliance, and regulatory implications of the Halifax Stark settlement, with a focus on physician compensation, hospital referral relationships, and whistleblower litigation strategy. Marlan’s firsthand experience offers a valuable perspective on how complex Stark Law cases can unfold and what they mean for healthcare providers nationwide.
