Federal legislation that regulates civil action for filing of a false or inaccurate claim for payment, knowingly using a false record or statement to obtain payment on a false or fraudulent claim paid by the government, and conspiring to defraud the government by getting a false or fraudulent claim allowed or paid. Under this act, any person who knowingly presents or causes to be presented a false or fraudulent claim to the government for payment or approval is liable. This law covers all types of government payments, not just medical insurance claims.
