New York Ambulance Company Settles Case Involving False Claims

On January 22, 2020, SeniorCare Emergency Medical Services, Inc. (SeniorCare), Bronx, New York, entered into a $1,231,854.09 settlement agreement with OIG. The settlement agreement resolves allegations that SeniorCare presented claims to Medicare Part B for ambulance transportation to and from skilled nursing facilities (SNFs) where such transportation was already covered by the SNF consolidated billing payment under Medicare Part A. OIG's Office of Audit Services and Office of Counsel to the Inspector General, represented by Senior Counsels David Traskey and Geoffrey Hymans with the assistance of Paralegal Specialist Jennifer Hilton, collaborated to achieve this resolution.
