Florida Cancer Specialists & Research Institute, LLC (FCS) has agreed to return more than $2.3 million in overcharges to the VA after a successful qui tam action by a former Claims Resolution Specialist with FCS, Marianne Parker.  Parker’s complaint instigated a government investigation that found that an error in the VA’s billing system had led the agency to pay the full amount billed by FCS for certain physician-administered drugs provided to veterans, rather than at the Medicare rate mandated by the Code of Federal Regulations.  For alerting the government to the discrepancies, Parker will receive a 20% share of the funds.  USAO MDFL
