A federal judge awarded the government roughly $2 million in a verdict against Maryland-based home health care company Dynamic Visions, Inc. for violating the False Claims Act because its employees repeatedly and routinely falsified records to obtain funds from Medicaid.  Specifically, a government investigation found many of the company’s patient files did not contain physician authorizations, called “plans of care,” as required under applicable regulations; contained plans of care that were not signed by physicians or other qualified health care workers; or contained forged signatures in order to cover up the lack of a physician’s authorization.
