The U.S. District Court for the Middle District of Tennessee recently held that a leading diagnostic testing firm (the Center) was liable under the False Claims Act (FCA) for failing to comply with Medicare’s direct physician supervision requirement at several of its independent diagnostic testing facilities (IDTFs) in Nashville. The court granted summary judgment to the federal government in the case—a whistleblower action initiated by a former employee of the company.
