Prime Healthcare, its CEO Dr. Prem Reddy and a cardiologist will pay $37.5 million to settle allegations that the company paid kickbacks to the cardiologist when it purchased a rival medical practice in exchange for patient referrals to the company s Desert Valley Hospital in Victorville.
The settlement follows two whistleblower lawsuits, one which also claimed that Prime submitted fraudulent invoices to government healthcare programs with inflated prices for medical implants so the company could receive more money for reimbursement.
The law firm Phillips & Cohen which represented one of the whistleblowers, former Prime employee Martin Mansukhani said the settlement appeared to be the largest “brought against a hospital over kickbacks allegedly paid to a single physician.”
