Attorney General Josh Stein announced a $2.45 million settlement with Vista Clinical Diagnostics, LLC, for allegedly submitting or causing the submission of false claims to Medicare and Medicaid programs in North Carolina, Virginia, and Florida. These settlement funds will be returned to the Medicare and Medicaid programs. From Jan. 1, 2017, through Dec. 31, 2021, Vista Clinical allegedly submitted or caused to be submitted reimbursement claims to Medicare and Medicaid by adding diagnosis codes into patients’ reimbursement submissions that had not been provided by those patients’ physicians.
