Inova voluntarily submitted written disclosures to the US Attorney’s Office and the Virginia Attorney General’s Office. Specifically, the disclosure stated that, between Jan. 1, 2020, and Aug. 31, 2020, Inova had submitted claims to Medicaid for reimbursement, including resubmitted claims for reimbursement, for sterilization and hysterectomy procedures that contained documentation that had been improperly modified by or at the request of one or more Inova employees. These modifications resulted in the claim containing falsified information.
