International SOS Assistance, Inc. and related entities and individuals have agreed to pay $940,000 to resolve claims that they overbilled TRICARE for air medical evacuation services provided to military service members and their families.  International SOS was alleged to have negotiated discounts from third-party air ambulance services, but failed to pass those discounts on to TRICARE.  The case was brought by a whistleblower who used to be a flight desk manager for International SOS; he will receive an award of $165,000.  USAO EDPA
