July 31, 2024
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
LOS ANGELES—July 31, 2024—O’Melveny partner Elizabeth Bock has been named to Law360’s 2024 list of “Rising Stars,” which honors the top legal talent under 40 “whose legal accomplishments belie their age.”
Based in O’Melveny’s Los Angeles office, Bock is a versatile healthcare attorney whose expertise spans regulatory counseling, strategic guidance, internal investigations, government inquiries, and FCA defense work.
Law360 recognized Bock for a wide range of achievements for healthcare clients, including securing the dismissal of two of three qui tam FCA lawsuits against Elevance Health and two of its subsidiaries, Freedom and Optimum, alleging that they billed Medicare for inaccurate risk-adjusting diagnosis codes and retained overpayments for inaccurate claims based on faulty diagnostic practices by co-defendant provider groups. The final qui tam complaint remains pending.
The publication also lauded Bock for successfully defending Molina against the first unsealed Medicare Advantage FCA action involving in-home assessments, which alleged US$1 billion in Medicare fraud against Molina and co-defendants.
Bock told Law360 that she was eager to practice healthcare law when she first joined O’Melveny as a summer associate in 2011. She said: “I love our team, I love our group, I love our clients… Healthcare is always under a lot of pressure and scrutiny. It will be interesting to see where it goes next.”
