Select Medical, DOJ Reach $8.4M Settlement in False Claims Act Case
“Select Medical Corporation and Encore GC Acquisition LLC will pay $8.4 million to settle federal allegations in violation of the False Claims Act, the Department of Justice announced Friday. Pennsylvania based Select Medical Rehabilitation Services Inc. contracted with 12 SNFs in New York and New Jersey between January 2010 and March 2016 to provide rehabilitation therapy services,” reports Jordyn Reiland in Skilled Nursing News.
“The government alleged SMRS violated the act when it knowingly caused the facilities to submit false claims to Medicare for rehabilitation therapy services that were not reasonable, necessary or skilled. Selection Medical Corporation was SMRS’ prior parent company. The alleged conduct occurred before Encore GC Acquisition LLC became its successor-in-interest, according to the release.”
