$85 Million Settlement – Mason v. Medline

Milberg successfully represented a healthcare worker in a False Claims Act case against his former employer, Medline Industries, Inc., one of the nation’s largest suppliers of medical and surgical products, along with its charitable arm, The Medline Foundation. The suit alleged that Medline engaged in a widespread illegal kickback scheme targeting hospitals and other healthcare providers that purchase medical products paid for by federal healthcare programs. Milberg pursued the case on a non-intervened basis and recovered $85 million on behalf of the federal government — one of the largest settlements of a False Claims Act case in which the government declined to intervene.
