Rotech Healthcare, Inc. (ROHI) has paid $2 million to settle civil charges that it engaged in false or fraudulent conduct in billing Medicare for durable medical equipment, according to Berg & Androphy, which represented a former executive who filed whistleblower claims against the company.
The settlement resolves claims filed in April 2004 by former Rotech executive Sheila Bell-Messier, of Texarkana, Texas, who alleged that the company suppressed disclosure of billing issues in Texas, Colorado, and Louisiana in order to avoid additional penalties related to a previous civil settlement. In 2002, while in bankruptcy, Rotech settled federal civil claims related to billing issues related to its Montana, Kentucky, Florida, and Georgia operations.
