A settlement reached to resolve False Claims Act Allegations against Best Choice Home Health Care Agency Inc and its owner Reginald King.

The allegations arose by a lawsuit claiming Best Choice Home Health Care Agency Inc and its owner Reginald King, paid kickbacks for the referral of Medicaid-covered patients for home and community-based healthcare services from Best Choice.

According to the Department of Justice, from July 1, 2010, through December 31, 2014, Best Choice submitted claims for home and community-based healthcare services to Medicaid that resulted from a kickback arrangement between Reginald King, on behalf of Best Choice and Christopher Thomas, who transported patients from their homes to healthcare facilities in Kansas City. Reginald King paid Christopher Thomas $58,000 in kickbacks for new patients referred to Best Choice based on a formula which accounted for each hour of service that Best Choice billed to Medicaid.

As part of the $1.8 million settlement, Reginald King and Best Choice will pay the United States $1,011,780 and the state of Kansas $788,220.

The whistleblowers' share of the settlement will be $43,178.
