A Florida company that performs diagnostic tests on patients suffering from sleepdisorders has agreed to pay $15.3 million to settle claims that it improperly billed services to Medicare and other programs.
The U.S. Attorney's office in Louisville, Ky., announced the settlement with American Sleep Medicine of Jacksonville, Fla., on Thursday. A statement says the company falsely billed Medicare Part B, TRICARE and the Railroad Retirement Medicare Programs because diagnostic testing was performed by unqualified technicians.
