Several case rulings from 2015 and a shift in government focus has the potential to allow for continued financial recoveries in the coming year, especially within the healthcare industry.
The five trends outlined in the article include:
- Use of extrapolation
- Focus on physician compensation
- Spotlight on individual liability
- Disclosure of overpayments
- Recognition of implied certification
