OIG approves four state False Claims Acts

Pharma Compliance Alert, August 20, 2008

The OIG approved the new State False Claims Acts for California, Georgia, Indiana, and Rhode Island, but disapproved six other state proposals presented by Florida, Louisiana, Michigan, New Hampshire, New Mexico, and Oklahoma.

Under the Deficit Reduction Act, each state with a False Claims Act that is at least as effective in facilitating and rewarding qui tam actions as the Federal False Claims Act in protecting state Medicaid funds is entitled to an extra 10% of fraud recoveries from those actions. For the state to receive the additional money, the OIG must approve the state’s False Claims Act.
