Department Of Justice Files Complaint Against
Ex-Tenet General Counsel
On September 18, 2007, the government announced it had filed a
complaint alleging that the former general counsel of Tenet Healthcare
Corporation violated the False Claims Act, the Justice Department
announced today. The suit contends that in 1997 and 1998, Christi
Sulzbach submitted false certifications to the Department of Health and
Human Services which allowed Tenet to bill Medicare for millions of
dollars in claims that it was not entitled to receive.
