Federal and state authorities alleged that American Medical Response of Connecticut would often bill Medicare and Medicaid for paramedic services when it was only providing ambulance transport services, according to a March 29 Justice Department news release.
In many cases where the ambulance company and local fire departments jointly responded to a situation, both billed Medicaid for paramedic services, which resulted in Medicaid paying twice for services, according to the Justice Department.
The claims were submitted from January 2014 through December 2019, the Justice Department said.
