NEW YORK - Attorney General Eric T. Schneiderman today announced that New York State and the federal government have entered into a $600,000 settlement agreement with Brooklyn Plaza Medical Center to resolve allegations that the diagnostic and treatment center ran a satellite facility, the Whitman Ingersoll Farragut Health Center, without an operating certificate. The settlement also resolves allegations that Brooklyn Plaza Medical Center disguised the satellite facility's Medicaid billings to make them appear as if the services were rendered at the Brooklyn Plaza Medical Center, not the satellite center.
