The health-care industry led the way as a record 543 False Claims Act settlements and judgments were reported in fiscal year 2023.

"As the record-breaking number of recoveries reflects, those who seek to defraud the government will pay a high price," said Brian Boynton, principal deputy assistant attorney general and head of the U.S. Justice Department's Civil Division. "The American taxpayers deserve to know that their hard-earned dollars will be used to support the important government programs and operations for which they were intended."
