Mobile diagnostic service provider Trident USA Health Services LLC has agreed to pay $8.5 million to settle two whistleblower cases alleging violations of the False Claims Act.  Trident’s CIO, Ravi Srivastava, and a regional sales manager, Peter Goldman, had each filed their own qui tam suits alleging Trident had been engaged in a kickback scheme with skilled nursing facilities between 2006 and 2019.  For their efforts, Srivastava will receive $2 million and Goldman will receive $106,250 of the government’s recovery.  USAO EDPA
