Bluestone Physician Services agreed to pay approximately $14.9 million and abide by a corporate integrity agreement to settle allegations first raised by a whistleblower that it filed false claims to federal and state health programs for chronic pain care to people in assisted living facilities.
The details: From January 2015 through December 2019, Bluestone submitted claims to Florida, Minnesota, and federal health programs that exaggerated the extent of care provided, according to a settlement agreement published Wednesday by the Department of Justice (DOJ).
