Practice Area
Government Program Fraud, False Claims Act & Qui Tam Litigation
Investigations and litigation involving alleged fraud against the government pose a significant and growing threat to organizations and individuals across all industries that engage directly or indirectly in business with federal, state, and/or local governments. The government makes aggressive use of its extensive criminal and civil investigatory powers to root out alleged fraud and abuse implicating government funds, including one of its most powerful civil enforcement tools—the federal False Claims Act (FCA)—and similar state false claims statutes.

Departments Release Final Mental Health Parity Rule
Earlier this month, the U.S. Departments of Labor (the DOL), Health and Human Services (HHS), and Treasury (the Departments) released the long-awaited Mental Health Parity and Addiction Equity Act (MHPAEA) final rule (the Final Rule). The Final Rule walked back a few of the more burdensome and confusing requirements of the Proposed Rule, including the proposed mathematical “substantially all” test, the network composition safe harbor (guidance about which will be forthcoming), and the fiduciary compliance attestation. However, plans will still need to make substantial changes to their nonquantitative treatment limitation (NQTL) analyses going forward. Additionally, the Final Rule indicates that network composition will be a major enforcement priority for the Departments in the coming years.
