Federal prosecutors say LSU Health Sciences Center-Shreveport will pay more than $700,000 to settle allegations that it defrauded Medicare by billing for medical services not provided by teaching physicians between 1995 and 2005.
U.S. Attorney Donald W. Washington says an investigation found that the hospital routinely submitted claims for payment to Medicare Part B on behalf of doctors who said they helped orthopedic residents during surgery when in fact they were not present for the procedure as required.
The settlement, announced Wednesday, was filed under the Federal False Claims Act, a civil law that allows the government to recoup money obtained through fraud and misrepresentation.
