Physician to pay $100K Medicare fraud settlement
LTC Liability Monitor, January 5, 2005
A Braintree, MA, physician agreed to pay $100,000 to the federal government last week to settle allegations that he overbilled Medicare. Arthur Bregoli agreed to the settlement amid allegations that he overcharged Medicare patients for nursing facility care in Massachusetts nursing homes from 1995-1999, according to a press release from the U.S. Department of Justice.
Under the terms of his settlement, Bregoli also entered into a certificate of compliance agreement with the Office of Inspector General of the Department of Health and Human Services that allows the agency to monitor his compliance with Medicare billing guidelines.
