A settlement has been reached to resolve False Claims Act allegations brought against Omni Home Care, and its parent corporation, Omni Home Health. They are accused of failing to obtain certain required physician approvals before submitting bills for home health services to Medicare.
In August 2008, Omni submitted a disclosure to the Office of Inspector General, Department of Health and Human Services, in which Omni stated that the required physician signatures were not timely obtained for certain services provided at its Evansville, Ind., facility.
The settlement reached resolves the violations mentioned in the Company's disclosure.
