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.
