Description

Substandard quality care is the subject of survey citations and lawsuits, but it has also been used by the Justice Department to support false claim liability.

Join Husch Blackwell’s Meg Pekarske and Jonathan Porter as they explore what the “worthless services” theory of liability is, when it has been used, and whether the recent settlement could signal a resurgence of these types of cases.
