A California-based therapy company has agreed to pay $2 million to quash allegations that it overbilled for services provided at 11 skilled nursing facilities.
In the settlement announcement Friday, the Department of Justice said Interface Rehab submitted Medicare Part A claims for medically âunreasonable and unnecessary Ultra Highâ therapy levels.
The allegations, built in part on testimony from a whistleblower within the company, stretched from Jan. 1, 2006. through Oct. 10, 2014.
Federal officials said this settlement was connected to a case against Longwood Management, which last year agreed to pay $16.7 million to the government over alleged upcoding at 27 California facilities. The settlement announced Friday resolves Interfaceâs role in that case.
