The 6th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals rejected a claim Wednesday by lawyers who argued that the federal Medicare program was defrauded by a company that made defective wires for heart pacemakers. The court found that it lacked jurisdiction in the case because claims against Meditronic had been previously disclosed publicly. The lawyers had filed the case under the False Claims Act, which allows private citizens to sue on behalf of the government if they believe it has been defrauded.
