"Montana Superfund Clinic Found Guilty of 337 False Asbestos Claims"

A federal jury has found that a health clinic in Libby, Montana submitted 337 false asbestos claims, making patients eligible for Medicare and other benefits they shouldn't have received. The fraudulent claims caused over $1 million in damage to the government. The clinic, Center for Asbestos Related Disease (CARD), and its doctor, Brad Black, have been at the forefront of helping residents in the town, which was declared a Superfund site due to asbestos contamination. BNSF Railway, which filed the lawsuit against CARD, could be eligible for a percentage of any amount recovered by the government.
