Florida Laboratory Settles Case Involving Allegations of False or Fraudulent
Medicare Claims
Florida Family Laboratories, LLC (FFL), a Florida urine drug testing
company, agreed to enter into a $197,400.09 settlement agreement with the Office
of Inspector General (OIG) for the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services
effective August 5, 2014. The settlement resolves allegations FFL submitted
false or fraudulent claims to Medicare. Specifically, OIG contends FFL submitted
claims to Medicare for high complexity urine drug tests exceeding the number of
units allowed by Medicare by using an inappropriate code to bypass computer
programming that would have otherwise rejected such claims. OIG's Office of
Audit Services and Office of Counsel to the Inspector General, represented by
Senior Counsels Andrea Treese Berlin and Geoff Hymans, collaborated to achieve
this settlement. quoted from here
