LAWRENCE â The state has reached a $10 million settlement with a Lawrence-based home health care company that was accused of falsely billing Medicaid.Â
Attorney General Maura Healey announced the agreement "to resolve allegations that they falsely billed" Medicaid was reached with Maestro-Connections Health Systems LLC and CEO George Kiongera.Â
From January 2014 until August 2018, Maestro "knowingly submitted claims to MassHealth and MassHealth managed care entities for home health services that had not been appropriately authorized by a physician," according to a statement released by Healey.Â
"Companies like Maestro that defraud MassHealth take vital resources away from the program and the people that need it most," Healey said.
