State settles in Medicare and Medicaid fraud case
LTC Liability Monitor, November 20, 2006
New York state agreed to settle an $11 million class-action lawsuit alleging that thousands of poor, disabled, and elderly nursing home residents were cheated out of millions of dollars in the late 1980s, reported The Buffalo News. State officials admitted no wrongdoing in the lawsuit, which claimed that the state cheated nursing home residents by mishandling Medicaid and Medicare funds and wrongly collecting insurance copayments from some residents. According to court papers, those eligible to receive money under the settlement spent time in New York nursing homes during 1989, and who collected both Medicare and Medicaid. Heirs of the former nursing home residents also are eligible, according to the News.
