On July 20, 2016, Courtesy Transport Services, LLC (Courtesy), of Northeast Florida, entered into a $362,188 settlement agreement with OIG. The settlement agreement resolves allegations that Courtesy submitted claims for emergency ambulance transportation to destinations such as skilled nursing facilities and patient residences that should have been billed at the lower non-emergency rate. OIG's Consolidated Data Analysis Center and Office of Counsel to the Inspector General, represented by Senior Counsels Geoffrey Hymans and Andrea Treese Berlin, collaborated to achieve this settlement.
