Managing the Next Big False Claims Act Whistleblower: Your Data

Brenna E. Jenny

Sidley lawyer Brenna Jenny, along with Mihran Yenikomshian and Paul Greenberg of Analysis Group, authored an article entitled “Health Companies Can Reduce FCA Risk by Leveraging Data,” available here.  One of the most notable recent trends in FCA enforcement is an evolution in how DOJ identifies cases for investigation.  No longer reliant solely on whistleblowers, DOJ has begun implementing increasingly sophisticated data analytics to initiate many of its own FCA cases, as discussed further here and here.  The article discusses how healthcare industry participants can defensively deploy their own data to identify potential problems through internal investigations before they become part of government investigations.
