CenterLight Healthcare, Inc. agreed to pay $10 million to settle claims of violating the False Claims Act for collecting monthly Medicaid payments for 186 adult home residents who frequently did not receive required services while enrolled in Centerlight’s managed long-term care plan. In connection with the filing of the lawsuit and settlement, the Government had previously joined and settled a private whistleblower lawsuit filed under the qui tam provisions of the False Claims Act. In that case, Centerlight agreed to pay $46.7 million to settle claims of violating the False Claims Act by using social adult day care centers to enroll ineligible members in Centerlight’s managed long-term care plan. DOJ (SDNY)
