Waltz Quoted on Health Care Fraud Investigations

Foley Partner Judith Waltz was quoted in an article that appeared in the Daily Journal on July 20, 2011 titled “Government doubles down on health care fraud.” Waltz discusses the rise in funding for federal health care fraud investigations, stating that one way the Obama Administration intends to pay for health care reform is through fraud enforcement activities. She adds that the increased scrutiny has led to a more intense environment for companies who find themselves targets of investigations, noting that the government seems more wary of how it interacts with health care providers.
