Urgent Care Provider and Management Company to pay $22.5 Million to End FCA Claims
South Carolina urgent care providers agreed to pay $22.5 million to resolve False Claims Act claims filed by two former employees. The whistleblowers claimed that Doctors Care P.A. (Doctors Care), its management company, UCI Medical Affiliates of South Carolina, Inc. (UCI), and a related holding company, UCI Medical Affiliates, Inc., falsely certified that certain providers were approved to bill to Medicaid, Medicare, and TRICARE for medical services when the services were actually performed by non-credentialed physicians and other providers. The claims were only related to billing credentials, which are not related to the providers’ licenses to practice medicine.
