UHS of Delaware, Inc., a subsidiary of Universal Health Services, has settled a suit that alleged overcharging at a Georgia drug and alcohol treatment center.
The company agreed to pay nearly $1.5 million to settle charges that UHS’s Turning Point Care Center billed Medicare for non-reimbursable costs such as patient transportation, self-administered drugs and costs of an outpatient facility that was not Medicare certified.
A copy of the April 10, 2006 settlement agreement and the government’s press release can be found at the website of the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania.
