Catherine Short speaks with Shauna Itri, Partner at Seeger Weiss LLP on the topic of “Fraud, <strong>Healthcare</strong>,<br />
COVID-19 and the False Claims Act.” A whistleblower or qui tam action can provide financial rewards to<br />
individuals who have information that a company/individual has committed fraud. The primary statutes under<br />
which this relief may be sought are the federal and state False Claims Acts (“FCAs”). In addition to the FCAs,<br />
there are other statutes which apply to tax fraud, securities fraud, and in California, fraud on private insurance<br />
companies. This episode will provide an overview of the False Claims Acts, the knowledge and skills to be<br />
able to recognize a potential whistleblower case, and understand the unique procedures utilized in filing<br />
whistleblower cases/tips. We will also delve into recent trends in cases brought (or that could be brought)<br />
under the False Claims Act including cases involving mined data and potential fraud related to COVID-19.<br />
