The United States Attorney’s Office for the Southern District of Florida issued a press release on December 21, 2006 to announce a $2.2 million settlement with the University of Miami.
The settlement resolves allegations that the University’s teaching hospital billed for services as though they had been personally and identifiably provided by faculty when there was not sufficient documentation to satisfy Medicare requirements and charged for procedures at a higher level than was justified.
