Overlook Medical Center in Summit, N.J., and its parent, Atlantic Health System, will pay roughly $9 million to settle allegations of Medicare overbilling, according to a Star-Ledger report.

The government claimed from January 2002 through July 2009, Overlook billed Medicare for inpatient services that should have been charged as outpatient care, according to the report. The amount overbilled was not specified.

Morristown, N.J.-based Atlantic Health System has not admitted any wrongdoing.
