One of the nation's largest health-care staffing companies has agreed to pay $150 million to settle sweeping criminal and civil fraud allegations of submitting false bills to federal and state health programs.
Maxim Healthcare Services Inc. was accused of submitting more than $61 million in fraudulent billings to government health programs for services that were either not provided or not eligible for reimbursement, according to a press release Monday from the U.S. Department of Justice [1]. Eight former Maxim employees, as well as the parent of a former Maxim patient, have pleaded guilty to felony charges.
