On October 4, 2005, Plaintiff United States of America, ex rel. Michael K. Drakeford, M.D., filed a qui tarn complaint *780against Defendant Tuomey d/b/a Tuomey Healthcare System, Inc. The Government filed amended complaints on December 21, 2007 and November 12, 2008. The Government alleges it made payments to Tuomey under the Medicare and Medicaid Programs, but that the claims for payment were unlawful under the Stark Law, 42 U.S.C. § 1395m, and thus violative of the False Claims Act (FCA), 31 U.S.C. §§ 3729 et seq.
