The Department of Justice has announced that it obtained $2.5 billion in settlements and judgments from cases involving healthcare fraud in 2018.
The healthcare fraud settlements are part of more than $2.8 billion the government obtained through False Claims Act cases last year, the DOJ said. This is the ninth consecutive year that the DOJ’s civil healthcare fraud judgments and settlements have topped $2 billion.
