Home healthcare provider Carter Healthcare and its former chief executive officer and chief operations officer agreed to pay more than $30 million total under two settlements alleging the parties engaged in kickbacks to doctors and filed false claims.
In each settlement announced Tuesday, the Department of Justice (DOJ) charged Carter Healthcare, also known as CHC Holdings, with violating the False Claims Act. Both cases were initially brought in qui tam lawsuits by private individuals suing on behalf of the U.S. government.
