The False Claims Act (FCA) suit was initiated by the U.S. government, not a traditional whistleblower. Nonetheless, the recent $45 million settlement with a Florida physician and his wound care group – Vohra Wound Physicians Management LLC – resolved allegations that group knowingly submitted claims to Medicare for medically unnecessary yet lucrative surgical procedures, when routine non-surgical wound management had actually been done.  

During the next live edition of the long-running Monitor Monday Internet broadcast, famed whistleblower attorney Mary Inman will report the details of the amazing case, as a not-so-subtle reminder that crime doesn’t pay.

Broadcast segments will also include these instantly recognizable features:

·      Monday Rounds: Ronald Hirsch, MD, vice president of R1 RCM, will be making his Monday Rounds.
