On December 11, 2014, Marlan Wilbanks participated in a panel discussion at the Georgia Bar Healthcare Fraud Conference in Atlanta, Georgia, discussing healthcare fraud trends. The panel brought together legal and compliance professionals to examine national developments and enforcement actions tied to STARK Law, the Anti-Kickback Statute, and the False Claims Act (FCA).
Marlan and his co-panelists explored the most significant healthcare fraud trends of 2014, including increased government scrutiny of physician-hospital relationships and the rise in whistleblower-driven FCA filings. The session also addressed evolving legal interpretations affecting both relators and defense counsel, as well as the impact of high-value settlements on compliance strategy.
By sharing insights from his own litigation experience, Marlan provided attendees with actionable perspectives on how emerging fraud trends are influencing the future of enforcement and risk management. His commentary helped clarify how legal teams can proactively respond to these trends through stronger internal controls and collaboration with enforcement agencies.
Marlan’s participation underscored the importance of understanding fraud trends to stay ahead in an increasingly regulated environment.
