Marlan Wilbanks Highlights Private FCA Litigation at Los Angeles Healthcare Compliance Symposium
On October 9, 2014, Marlan Wilbanks served as a featured speaker at the 11th Annual Healthcare Law Compliance Symposium, hosted by the Los Angeles County Bar Association in Los Angeles, California. His presentation focused on a rising national trend in False Claims Act (FCA) enforcement: the growing role of private FCA litigation in driving high-impact healthcare fraud cases.
The Shift Toward Private FCA Litigation
Marlan explored how more large-scale False Claims Act (FCA), Stark Law, and Anti-Kickback Statute cases are being successfully prosecuted by private whistleblower counsel—often without government intervention. He shared examples from his firm’s own work, illustrating how private False Claims Act litigation has become a powerful tool for holding healthcare organizations accountable when public agencies decline to intervene.
Empowering Whistleblowers Through Private Enforcement
Conference attendees gained valuable insight into the procedural and strategic differences involved in pursuing private FCA litigation, including how to build a strong case, maintain credibility with regulators, and navigate settlement or trial independently. Marlan’s experience underscored the importance of private firms in expanding access to justice and protecting taxpayer resources through innovative enforcement efforts.
