2. About $5.1 billion in health-related recoveries were made in 2021, but the year was considered an outlier due to a large suit with Purdue Pharma.
3. In 2020, about $1.9 billion in healthcare-related recoveries were made.
4. 2022 saw the second highest rate of healthcare-related settlements and judgements in a single year.
5. The Justice Department expects to be faced with a growing number of COVID-19 false claims-related cases in 2023.
