INDIANAPOLIS, Dec. 19, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- The United States Department of Justice (DOJ) today announced a settlement with Indiana-based Community Health Network (Community) for $345 million for healthcare fraud claims on Medicare. The False Claims Act (FCA) case spanned 2008 to 2020. This historic settlement comes more than nine years after it was first filed. Community must also comply with a Corporate Integrity Agreement, ensuring five years of continual monitoring by the government. This is the second settlement with recidivist offender Community; the first was 2015 for $20.3 million.

Key Points: 
  • The settlement comes after seasoned healthcare finance and operations executive Thomas Fischer sued his former employer, Community.
  • Fischer is a whistleblower, or "relator," under the FCA, who filed suit on behalf of the government based on detailed insider knowledge of fraud.
  • Today's $345 million settlement is reportedly nearly triple the largest prior Stark Law False Claims Act settlement.
  • These claims are not mere technicalities; they directly affect patients, hospital employees and the high cost of healthcare.
