A judge in Baltimore City Circuit Court ordered the company to pay almost $400,000 in restitution to the state. In addition, the company must terminate its participation in the Medicaid program…According to the Maryland Attorney General, as part of its scheme, the company knowingly and willfully submitted claims to Medicaid for services that it knew to be fraudulent. When the COVID-19 pandemic began, the company continued to bill from March 16, 2020, to March 27, 2020, despite not providing any services. Additionally, a review of records revealed that 22 children were assessed in January 2020 as “within normal limits” with respect to their speech development. However, the company continued to bill Medicaid for speech-language therapy services for those children well beyond that date. Source: Maryland Attorney General
