A settlement has been reached in a whistleblower class action lawsuit brought against Baptist Health System Inc who is accused of submitting claims to federal health care programs for medically unnecessary services and drugs.
The whistleblower will receive a $424,155 share of federal settlement.
This settlement resolves allegations that, from September 2009 to October 2011, two neurologists in the Baptist Health network misdiagnosed patients with various neurological disorders, such as multiple sclerosis, which caused Baptist Health to bill for medically unnecessary services.
