Case: Individual Employment Rights/Whistleblowing (D. Kan.)

A Kansas federal district court denied Norton County Hospital’s motion for summary judgment on a terminated CEO’s False Claims Act whistleblower retaliation claims, where he reported concerns about the hospital’s potential violation of the Stark Law, which addresses financial conflicts of interest between physicians and entities, highlighting overpayment and alleged compliance issues, and the timing of his protected activities and the hospital’s adverse action supports a finding of retaliation.
