Why physicians should care about the False Claims Act

Our guest, Scott Ellner, a general surgeon, shares insights and real-life stories that shed light on the challenges health care providers face when financial incentives clash with patient-centered care. We'll explore the impact of wasteful spending, the power of the False Claims Act in combatting fraud, and the Department of Justice's evolving focus on value-based payment models.

Scott Ellner has been a general surgeon for over 20 years, and can be reached at PEAK Health.

He discusses the KevinMD article, "In the crosshairs: The False Claims Act’s new targets in health care."
