Foley Attorneys Unpack DOJ's New Whistleblower Rewards Program, Implications for Health Providers

Foley & Lardner LLP partners Jason Mehta and Joe Swanson and associates Lea Gulotta James and Jamie Steven authored the American Health Law Association bulletin, “Wanted Posters Across the Old West: Unpacking DOJ’s New Whistleblower Rewards Program and Its Implications for Health Care Providers.”

In the bulletin, the authors assess the U.S. Department of Justice’s new whistleblower incentive and rewards program, offering detail on its basic facets and potential implications for the health care industry.

“While the particulars of this newly announced program remain to be seen, in light of DOJ’s continued focus on corporate misconduct, the importance of a robust and efficient compliance reporting and internal investigation process will become even more acute,” they conclude.
