NATIONAL MEDICAL AGREES TO SETTLEMENT OF FRAUD CHARGES TOTALING $380 MILLION

J. F. L. MD

"National Medical Enterprises, Inc detailed a broad settlement of fraud charges with the United States and 28 states involving payments of a record $380 million and federal guilty pleas on eight criminal counts by two of its units."

"The settlement total is more than three times the previous largest health-care-fraud payment, $111.4 million by National Health Laboratories, Inc in 1992. It is higher even than the nearly $300 million the government has recovered from ten defense contractors in its Ill Wind probe, the huge Pentagon fraud investigation that ended early this year."
