We served as lead counsel defending a six-hospital system and one of the largest health systems in Western Tennessee, in FCA litigation filed by the United States alleging that their financial arrangements with an oncology practice violated the AKS. The financial arrangements between Methodist and the oncology practice exceeded hundreds of millions of dollars over the lifetime of the arrangements, making this lawsuit one of the largest AKS cases brought by the United States. After significant litigation and over several years, our team negotiated a favorable settlement on behalf of our client.
