Eric Cottrell was quoted extensively in Healthcare Risk Management on a U.S. Supreme Court ruling involving the False Claims Act. The nation's highest court extended the time whistleblowers have to file claims when the government does not intervene. 

“The main takeaway here is that whatever errors in compliance you make, they are likely to live with you a lot longer than they used to,” Eric said. “That is particularly true in the Fourth and Tenth Circuits, which had both adopted the first interpretation of the statute limitations, saying the longer limit did not apply when the government did not intervene.”

Eric also provided background on the ruling and context for its impact in the health care industry, which is a major focus of False Claims Act cases.
