Yale-New Haven Hospital has agreed to pay $3.8 million to resolve allegations that it violated the False Claims Act.
In a March 7, 2008 press release, the U.S. Attorney’s Office said that the conduct involved had been disclosed by the hospital under the Provider Self-Disclosure Protocol. Between 2000 and 2005 the hospital billed Medicare for more infusion therapy and chemotherapy administration services than were allowed. Some services billed did not have adequate documentation.
