Qui tam action. The Qui Tam Action alleges that beginning with negotiations in December of 1993, and continuing through October 31, 1996, Olsten and Columbia/HCA Healthcare Corporation ("Columbia/HCA") entered into a series of transactions that enabled Columbia/HCA to acquire ownership of home health agencies in Georgia, Florida and Alabama, and enabled Olsten to acquire the right to manage the home health visits arising from those acquisitions. Olsten offered and paid remuneration indirectly, overtly and covertly, in cash and in kind, to induce Columbia/HCA to allow it to obtain and manage these home health visits controlled by Columbia/HCA, in violation of the Medicare Anti-Kickback Act, 42 U.S.C. ss. 1320a-7b(b). Olsten then colluded with Columbia/HCA to submit fraudulent claims to the Medicare program seeking reimbursement for inflated management fees for the years 1994 through and including 1998, which included the costs associated with these acquisitions--costs that would not have been reimbursed had their true nature as a vehicle for reimbursement of Columbia/HCA's acquisition costs been revealed to the Medicare program.
