Settlement Examples

Steven F. Grover has assisted more than 50 whistleblowers over the years. Here are a few of the most recent and interesting cases:

Our law firm and two clients recently made history by spearheading one of the first successful False Claims Act lawsuits against a private equity firm. The whistleblowers – former employees of compounding pharmacy Patient Care America (PCA) – alleged that PCA and the private equity firm Riordan Lewis & Haden engaged in an elaborate kickback scheme to generate referrals of prescriptions for expensive and medically unnecessary pain creams and scar creams which were reimbursed by TRICARE, the federal health program for members of the U.S. military and their families.

Under the settlement, the defendants agreed to pay $21.75 million. This result has placed private equity firms on notice that they can face False Claims Act liability when they participate in the operations of a company that defrauds the government. 

One of our clients alleged that her former employer, GAMBRO Healthcare Laboratory Services, Inc., defrauded Medicare by billing for laboratory testing for end-stage renal disease (ESRD) patients that was not performed, was medically unnecessary, or was double-billed. The case settled for $3 million in less than six months. 

We represented two clients who alleged that Donald Proctor, M.D., a plastic surgeon in Vero Beach, FL, performed medically unnecessary Mohs surgeries (skin cancer procedures) on thousands of elderly patients. The case settled for $4 million, and Dr. Proctor agreed to exclusion from federal programs, including Medicare and Medicaid, for five years.
