$9,500,000
A settlement has been reached in a whistleblower class action lawsuit brought against Visiting Physicians Association who is accused of submitting false claims to Medicare, TRICARE and the Michigan Medicaid program.
The lawsuit was one of four filed against the defendants. The whistleblowers will share in a recovery of approximately $1.7 million.
The United States alleged that Visiting Physicians Association submitted claims to the Medicare, TRICARE and Michigan Medicaid for unnecessary home visits and care plan oversight services, for unnecessary tests and procedures, and for more complex evaluation and management services than the services that Visiting Physicians Association actually provided.
