A Montana jury found that an asbestos clinic submitted 337 false claims that made patients in the small mining town elgible for Medicare and other benefits.
After a seven-person jury agreed last month, District Judge Christensen said in a July 18 order, that he was imposing a stiff penalty to prevent future misconduct.
The judgment against the CARD clinic comes after BNSF Railway filed a lawsuit in 2019 under the False Claims Act, which allows private parties to sue on the government’s behalf. In 2020, the Montana Supreme Court found BNSF liable for shipping asbestos-contaminated vermiculite through Libby, Montana.
