Loma Linda unit pays $2 million to settle suit
From Times Staff Reports
Loma Linda University’s Behavioral Medicine Center paid more than $2 million to settle allegations that it had fraudulently overbilled federal health insurance programs, the U.S. attorney’s office said.
The settlement, paid to the government, resolves a 1998 lawsuit that said a consulting firm helped the behavioral center seek reimbursement for unallowable charges from 1992 to 1996.
The behavioral center paid the settlement Friday without admitting wrongdoing.
