The United States Department of Justice settled a False Claims Act Medicaid fraud case against a Florida hospital system. Four Florida hospitals paid $20 million to resolve allegations that they made donations to a county juvenile wellness board to improperly fund the state’s share of Medicaid payments to the hospital system. A whistleblower reported this misconduct. A former hospital reimbursement manager blew the whistle and will receive $5 million of the settlement.
