The settlement resolves allegations by the government that Lahey Clinic Hospital submitted flawed Medicare claims for drug infusion therapy, chemotherapy and blood transfusion therapy services for multiple units of these services when only one unit per date of service should have been billed to Medicare, according to the release.
The improperly submitted claims resulted in Lahey Clinic Hospital receiving a higher amount of Medicare reimbursement than was authorized, according to the release.
