The U.S. attorney’s office in Detroit said St. Mary’s of Michigan discovered it had violated rules that prohibit billing for chemotherapy in an outpatient clinic unless a physician is present for the procedure. The chemotherapy was administered at a Huron Medical Center clinic several days a week without a physician present.
St. Mary’s said the billing error was unintended and that the hospital is committed to “honest and responsible conduct.”
