Hallmark Health agreed to the settlement after it was discovered the system had billed MassHealth — Massachusetts’ Medicaid program — for inpatient services when less-expensive outpatient care or an observation stay would have been sufficient, according to the report. The overbilling allegedly occurred from March 2008 through December 2013.
Although Hallmark Health has agreed to the settlement, there has been no admission of wrongdoing.
