Appendix VIII
Health Care Fraud Burn Rates

This appendix provides the burn rates of attorney FTEs, in percentage terms, for the prosecutorial area of health care fraud. For these computations, we compared the number of attorney FTEs allocated to the total number of attorney FTEs utilized (including time recorded in excess of a standard 40 hour work week) within each USAO. For example, in FY 2007, the Central District of California was allocated 6 attorney FTEs for health care fraud and utilized a total of 12.3972 attorney FTEs on such matters. This amounted to an overburn of 6.3972 FTEs, which equated to a 106.62 percent overburn.
