Michigan False Claims Act qualifies for additional recoveries
Pharma Compliance Alert, May 6, 2009
Michigan’s Medicaid False Claims Act meets the requirements of the Deficit Reduction Act of 2005 (DRA) and the state is entitled to an additional 10% of false claims recoveries, according to the OIG.
Under the DRA, 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.
