A settlement has been reached in a whistleblower class action lawsuit brought against CareAll Management LLC who is accused of submitting false and upcoded home healthcare billings to Medicare and Medicaid programs.
CareAll agreed to a $25 million settlement, in which the originally filing whistleblower will receive $3.9 million.
Filed in 2012, the lawsuit alleged that between 2006 and 2013, CareAll overstated the severity of patients’ conditions to increase billings and billed for services that were not medically necessary and rendered to patients who were not homebound.
