CityMD, the largest provider of urgent care practices across New York and New Jersey, agreed to pay approximately $12 million as part of a settlement with the Department of Justice (DOJ) addressing the alleged submission of false claims for payment for Covid-19 testing.

The details: From February 2020 through April 2022, CityMD โ€œknowingly submitted or caused to be submitted false claims for payment for Covid-19 testingโ€ to the Health Resources and Services Administrationโ€™s program for uninsured patients for individuals who had health insurance coverage, the DOJ alleged in a press release Friday.
