An electronic health records provider, Greenway Health LLC, will pay $57.25 million to settle a False Claims Act case brought by the U.S. alleging that Greenway fraudulently obtained certification that is product, Prime Suite, complied with HHS requirements and therefore that healthcare providers using Prime Suite could receive payments under the Medicare and Medicaid EHR Incentive Program.  Greenway allegedly modified the software tested by the certification body to make it appear that Prime Suite was performing as required when it was not, and failed to correct known errors in the software.  In addition, the government alleged that Greenway violated the Anti-Kickback Statute by providing incentives including payments to clients to recommend Prime Suite. Greenway entered into a five-year Corporate Integrity Agreement which includes an independent monitoring process.  DOJ
