How You Can Avoid Violating the False Claims Act.

A family physician in Knoxville, Tennessee paid $285,000 to settle allegations that he failed to properly supervise nurse practitioner services billed at the higher physician rate.

A healthcare system in San Diego, California paid $1.5 million to settle allegations that physical therapy services were inappropriately billed in physicians’ names, when they did not provide the appropriate supervision required under the circumstances.

Question: What do these two, and countless other, settlements have in common?

Answer: The underlying legal issue was their failure to follow “incident-to” billing regulations.
