Concluding in January 2008, in what one journal referred to as a landmark case, Mr. Ratner successfully represented the qui tam relator in a lawsuit involving allegations of false claims submitted by a hospital for inpatient admissions. The United States intervened on behalf of the relator and the matter resulted in a settlement, with the defendant paying the United States $26 million. The relator or "whistleblower" received an award of approximately $5 million.
