United States Eleventh Circuit

Appellant failed to provide required specificity under the False Claims Act, where allegations of a medical testing company's overbilling of the U.S. government did not identify any specific claims, or the dates on which those claims were presented to the government, and appellant relied exclusively on conclusory allegations of fraudulent billing.
