Bass, Berry & Sims attorney Matt Curley provided insight for an article for the Report on Medicare Compliance discussing the recent Department of Justice (DOJ) announcement creating a National Fraud Enforcement Division. The establishment of this Division signals a potential shift in how fraud cases are investigated and prosecuted, particularly through increased coordination and resource alignment. While the initiative emphasizes a more aggressive posture against fraud involving taxpayer-funded programs, its practical impact remains uncertain as the agency works through implementation and staffing challenges, as Matt discussed in the article.
The full article, “DOJ Shakes Things up With New National Fraud Enforcement Division,” was published in the April 13 edition of the Report on Medicare Compliance newsletter, a publication of the Health Care Compliance Association (subscription required).
