Additional business information
The following describes a government action that has been resolved by either a settlement or a decision by a court or administrative agency. If the matter is being appealed, it will be noted below.
On 3/29/2019 the Massachusetts Attorney General's office announced that CareWell Urgent Care Centers had agreed to pay a combined $2 million to Massachusetts, Rhode Island, and the Federal Government to settle allegations it routinely overbilled government insurance programs.
The AG’s Office alleges that beginning in March 2013, CareWell routinely overbilled MassHealth and GIC Plans for complex patient exams that were not medically necessary. The AG alleges that CareWell directed its physicians, nurse practitioners and medical staff to perform these complex exams to support CareWell’s claims for higher government reimbursements, and falsely informing medical personnel that the complex exams were required by CareWell’s malpractice carrier. The AG’s Office also alleges that when CareWell’s medical staff did not comply with this directive, non-medical staff were instructed to alter electronic billing records to ensure maximum reimbursement.
