A settlement has been reached in a government lawsuit brought against Robinson Health System Inc who is accused of violations of the False Claims Act, the Anti-Kickback Statute and the Stark Statute by allegedly engaging in improper financial relationships with referring physicians.
The case alleged specifically that Robinson's financial relationships with a number of referring physicians included management agreements that Robinson had with two physicians groups. These physicians allegedly failed to provide sufficient bona fide management services to have justified the payments that they received. Robinson disclosed these issues to the government.
