On April 1, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Sixth Circuit dismissed a False Claims Act (FCA) ruling against MedQuest saying the company did not violate the FCA over its use of non-Medicare appointed physicians in diagnostic testing facilities for Medicare-claimed procedures. Bass, Berry & Sims attorney Britt Latham was part of the team representing MedQuest. The ruling was analyzed in several publications, including a Law360 article titled “6th Circ.
