Marlan Wilbanks recently joined a panel of expert attorneys at the Whistleblower Law Symposium hosted by the Atlanta Bar Association to discuss “Hot Topics in Qui Tam Cases in Health Care”, including the ongoing dominance of the healthcare sector in False Claims Act recoveries. The discussion explored why healthcare qui tam cases continue to account for more than 80% of total FCA recoveries nationwide.
Panelists examined recent legal developments, enforcement trends, and whistleblower incentives that make the healthcare industry a focal point for fraud investigations. Marlan provided insight into the complexities of litigating qui tam cases, especially those involving Stark Law, Anti-Kickback Statute violations, and billing fraud under Medicare and Medicaid.
The session also addressed whether the healthcare sector will continue to lead in FCA activity or if other industries may rise in significance. Marlan emphasized the enduring role of qui tam cases due to their intersection with federal funding, regulatory scrutiny, and ongoing compliance challenges.
