Back in the late 1990s, Christi Sulzbach was Tenet Healthcare’s designated corporate integrity officer, charged with assuring that the company — which had settled government fraud charges in 1994 — was in compliance with legal standards for federal heath care funding.
More than a decade later, Sulzbach has finally secured the dismissal of the Justice Department’s civil charges that she violated the False Claims Act when she submitted sworn declarations in 1997 and 1998 attesting to Tenet’s compliance.
