Delaware News Journal
The federal government on Friday hit Connections Community Support Programs, a major health care and drug treatment contractor for the state of Delaware, with two separate lawsuits claiming the nonprofit made false claims to receive some $4.5 million in improper payments and failed to adequately document its distribution of narcotics.
The false-claims lawsuit accuses Connections of defrauding the federal government out of more than $4.5 million by submitting false claims to Medicaid and Medicare for reimbursement of mental health services.
