Court Upholds $3.5 Million+ Verdict in Whistleblower Suit Brought by Sleep Center Supervisor
A state appellate court in Illinois affirmed a substantial jury verdict in favor of a former employee of a hospital (the former manager/supervisor of its sleep center), who alleged his employment was terminated in retaliation for him raising concerns about Medicare and Medicaid fraud by the physician selected and retained by the hospital to serve as the medical director of the sleep center (including concerns about the medical director’s free rent and use of supplies bought by the hospital without paying for them, as well as allegations that the medical director was having a PA interpret tests but documenting and billing for them as if the medical director had personally interpreted the tests). Kaytor v. Southern Illinois Hospital Services

Question of the Week
I serve on the peer review/MEC in one hospital system and as department chair at another regional system. A physician is under FPPE for very serious patient safety concerns at the first system, and he has now applied for privileges at the second system (where I am department chair). I don’t think I can divulge any protected information I have knowledge of. What can I do?
