A settlement has been reached to resolve False Claims Act allegations against Aria Health.
The allegations arose from lawsuits claiming Aria Health violated the False Claims Act and Stark Law by compensating a cardiothoracic surgeon in excess of fair market value between August 2012 and March 2015 and for claims that a cardiologist performed unnecessary invasive procedures on patients between Oct. 1, 2012, and April 15, 2013.
Aria Heath will pay a total of approximately $3 million to settle these claims.
