In U.S. ex rel Ruckh v. Salus Rehab et al, a Florida jury awarded the Federal and Florida governments 115 million in actual and treble damages under a False Claim Act case against the operators of 53 Skilled Nursing Facilities.  The allegations at the heart of the case involved either billing for services not rendered and/or services that were not medically necessary.  

The judgment underscores the importance of zealous compliance and the risks of taking a FCA case to a jury.
