Settlement Amount:
$8,500,000
A settlement has been reached to resolve False Claims Act Allegations against Memorial Hospital who is accused of engaging in improper financial relationships with referring physicians.
The State of Ohio will receive a $600,383 share of the recovery.
The allegations against Memorial were based upon violations of statutory requirements. More specifically, financial relationships that Memorial had with two physicians, where there was a joint venture between Memorial and a pain management physician and an arrangement under which an ophthalmologist purchased intraocular lenses and then resold them to Memorial at inflated prices.
