Florida provider to pay $700K to settle Medicaid fraud allegations

Jacksonville, Fla.-based Physicians Groups Services has agreed to pay $700,000 to resolve allegations the healthcare provider submitted false claims to the state's Medicaid program. 

The Justice Department alleged that Physicians Group Services billed Medicaid for quantitative drug testing that was medically unnecessary because the testing was not designed to meet the needs of each patient, according to an Oct. 5 news release.
