Summary:

Addresses increasing use of the Federal False Claims Act (FCA) of 1843 for fraudulent health care claims, and reviews H.R. 3523 and S. 2007, both the Health Care Claims Guidance Act, to amend the FCA to provide that no action may be brought under the FCA based on a health care claim "unless the amount of damages is a material amount."
