Sioux City Community Health Center Pays $200,000 To Resolve False Claims Act Allegations
Siouxland Community Health Center (SCHC), a community health center in Sioux City, has agreed to pay $200,000 to resolve allegations that it violated the Federal False Claims Act and the State of Iowa False Claims Act. The United States and the State of Iowa contend that SCHC improperly submitted claims to Iowa Medicaid for dental outreach services performed on children who were not eligible for the service because they were either recently treated in SCHC's dental clinic or were recently the recipient of SCHC's dental outreach services. As part of the settlement, SCHC did not admit to any wrongdoing or liability.
