Attorney General Anthony G. Brown announced a $1,289,679 settlement with Elkton SNF, LLC and Elkton Health Holdco, LLC d/b/a Elkton Nursing and Rehabilitation Center (Elkton) to settle allegations that the entities violated the Maryland False Health Claims Act by providing substandard care to residents at Elkton Nursing and Rehabilitation Center. The facility came to the office’s attention in 2022 after a concerned citizen contacted the Medicaid Fraud and Vulnerable Victims Unit (MFVVU) with information. The settlement includes $400,679 paid by Elkton to fund a quality improvement plan in which the Office of Attorney General will oversee the facility for three years through regular performance evaluations by a third-party monitoring company. It also includes $889,000 in restitution to the state.
