Supreme Court Declines Request to Address False Claims Act Liability For Medically Unnecessary Services
The Supreme Court of the United States declined to take up two circuit court decisions on whether “objective falsity” is a requirement for False Claims Act (FCA) liability. The two cases, United States v. Care Alternatives from the Third Circuit and United States v. RollinsNelson from the Ninth Circuit, declined to extend the objective falsity standard to cases involving the alleged falsity of doctors’ certifications for Medicare-covered services. The Supreme Court did not offer reasoning for its denial of review.
