Program Fraud Civil Remedies Act of 1986 Sample Clauses

Program Fraud Civil Remedies Act of 1986. The Program Fraud Civil Remedies Act of 1986 (“PFCRA”) authorizes federal agencies such as the Department of Health and Human Services to investigate and assess penalties for the submission of false claims to the agency. The conduct prohibited by the PFCRA is similar to that prohibited by the False Claims Act. For example, a person may be liable under the PFCRA for making, presenting, or submitting, or causing to be made, presented, or submitted, a claim that the person knows or has reason to know: • is false, fictitious, or fraudulent; • includes or is supported by any written statement that: o omits a material fact; o is false, fictitious, or fraudulent as a result of such omission; and o include such material fact; or o is for payment for the provision of property or services which the person has not provided as claimed.
