In the fourth episode of AHLA’s annual Health Law Connections Top 10 series, Okem Nwogu speaks with Megha Mathur, Associate at Barnes & Thornburg LLP, about emerging trends in health care fraud and abuse enforcement and how organizations should prepare in response.

Their discussion examines the shift in enforcement from volume to scale, as government investigations increasingly target interconnected business ecosystems rather than isolated actors. They explore common compliance breakdowns in high-risk areas such as telehealth and risk-adjustment coding, the growing link between reimbursement and liability in Medicare Advantage, and how data analytics is reshaping enforcement strategy.

The episode concludes with a forward-looking discussion on how health care organizations must adapt their compliance strategies to a more proactive, data-driven regulatory environment. The overarching takeaway: in 2026, compliance must be operational, data-informed, and empowered — not simply policy-based or reactive.
