In the early 1990s Dr. James Christopher Johnston gained national prominence with his persistent efforts to ensure the Department of Justice, FBI and Office of the Inspector General investigated a large hospital corporation for insurance fraud, kickbacks and performing unnecessary procedures on patients. As a result of Dr. Johnston’s whistle blower efforts exposing these illegal actions, the federal government severely punished the hospital corporation for fraud and abuse with a fine of 900 million dollars, a requirement to sell off a number of hospitals and compliance monitoring.
