Every day the news is full of stories about health care fraud investigations and settlements. Following the passage of the Affordable Care Act, the federal government has intensified its efforts to investigate health care providers suspected of committing fraud. In this new landscape, law enforcement agencies work with the Department of Justice and U.S. Attorney's Offices utilizing myriad enforcement tools to aggressively prosecute organizations and individuals.
