United States Sixth Circuit
US v. CENTURY HEALTH SERV., INC., 01-5019
A "false" claim under the False Claims Act need not be expressly false at the time of submission, and liability can attach for violation of the continuing duty to comply with regulations on which payment is conditioned; defendants should have filed amended cost reports documenting their failure to timely replace withdrawn Medicare funds.
