Brown, LLC Represents Whistleblower in ~$764,000 False Claims Act Settlement Against Oakland County Sleep Specialists

Brown, LLC successfully represented a whistleblower in a False Claims Act (FCA) settlement totaling approximately $764,000 against Troy Sleep Center PLC, Care One Medical Equipment and Supplies, Inc., and their owners. The United States Attorney’s Office for the Eastern District of Michigan announced the resolution of allegations that the defendants improperly billed Medicare and Medicaid, and obtained Paycheck Protection Program (PPP) funds while engaged in misconduct. The case originated from a whistleblower action, allowing a private individual to sue on behalf of the United States and share in the recovery.

Specifically, the allegations included Troy Sleep Center submitting claims for sleep studies performed by improperly trained technicians, the defendants receiving around $480,000 in PPP loans during non-compliant billing practices, and Care One Medical Equipment and Supplies billing Medicaid for PAP machine accessories in violation of reimbursement rules. Jason T. Brown, head of Brown, LLC, emphasized the critical role whistleblowers play in protecting taxpayer funds and holding accountable those who misuse federal healthcare and pandemic relief programs.

The settlement resolves allegations only, with no determination of liability. The case was investigated by the U.S. Attorney’s Office, the Michigan Attorney General’s Health Care Fraud Division, and the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services Office of Inspector General. Brown, LLC specializes in representing whistleblowers in cases of fraud against government programs, having reportedly helped recover over a billion dollars for taxpayers.
