# DOJ and HHS Launch FCA Disclosure Pilot

The Department of Justice (DOJ) and Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) launched a six-month False Claims Act Self-Disclosure Pilot Program for health care entities paid directly or indirectly by federal health care programs. Eligible participants may seek a coordinated civil release without making factual admissions or entering a Corporate Integrity Agreement, with repayment set at 1.25–1.6 times the calculated base amount. Submissions are due by **April 22, 2027** (170 days from November 3, 2026); potential criminal conduct is outside the civil pilot and must be disclosed separately to DOJ.

- Health care providers and contractors serving federal health care programs can assess potential False Claims Act exposure and open investigations to determine whether voluntary disclosure is appropriate.
- The program offers a defined civil resolution path, but participation involves repayment and does not resolve potential criminal matters.
- Eligible entities considering a submission should note the **April 22, 2027** deadline and use FCA-SDPP@usdoj.gov for pilot submissions.
