Jewish Hospital & St. Mary’s HealthCare in Louisville, Ky., has agreed to pay $435,502 to settle claims that it overbilled Medicare from 2006-2010, according to a Business First report.
Federal officials contended that JHSMH improperly charged Medicare for outpatient wound-care services. The suit claimed JHSMH submitted charges for separate evaluation and management services that were never performed.
The settlement is not an admission of wrongdoing and it will be paid by Nov. 17, according to the report.
