A multistate home healthcare services provider agreed to pay nearly $10 million as part of a settlement with the Department of Justice (DOJ) addressing the alleged submission of false claims to the Department of Labor’s Energy Employees Occupational Illness Compensation Program (EEOICP).
Atlantic Home Health Care violated the False Claims Act by knowingly submitting claims for payment to the EEOICP for nursing and personal care when its employees were not physically present at patients’ homes, the DOJ said in a press release Friday.
