Nebraska Dep't of Health & Human Servs. v. Katherine Lynne Zupancic (In re Zupancic), Ch. 7, BK13-42031, A13-4066 (June 12, 2014)

The court granted summary judgment to a creditor who brought a non-dischargeability action based on a state court judgment against the debtor under the Nebraska False Medicaid Claims Act. The debtor, a mental health practitioner, was found to have filed claims for reimbursement from the Medicaid program for which she had no supporting documentation. She was also found to have made fraudulent representations in connection with those claims. The state court verdicts and judgment, including an award of treble damages, established the elements of ยง 523(a)(2)(A) and collaterally estopped the debtor from challenging the creditor's allegations in this proceeding.
