New York Attorney General Letitia James announced a $10.1 million settlement with healthcare companies RiverSpring Living Holding Corp. (RiverSpring) and ElderServe Health, Inc. d/b/a RiverSpring at Home (ElderServe) for failing to provide vulnerable New York seniors with personalized healthcare services while continuing to bill New York’s Medicaid program for those services. For years, RiverSpring and ElderServe collected millions of dollars in Medicaid payments while members of the RiverSpring Managed Long Term Care Plan in New York City and Westchester, Nassau, and Suffolk counties did not receive the care they were promised. The settlement is the result of a joint investigation between the Attorney General’s Medicaid Fraud Control Unit (MFCU), and the United States Attorney’s Office for the Southern District of New York (USAO-SDNY). Under the settlement, approximately $6 million will be returned to the New York State Medicaid Program.
