After being charged with white collar crimes, a heart monitoring services company that is based in Orange County, California has agrees to pay $3.6 million. The large payment was offered by the company to resolve allegations that it had defrauded government health care programs.
According to U.S. attorney's spokesman, Thom Mrozek, the settlement was finalized this week Thursday with National Cardio Lans LLC, the manager of the company (Adrienne Stanman) and her husband (Robert Parsons) who worked as a former manager.
In a lawsuit, the company stood accused of submitting false health care claims to Medicare, TRICARE and various other health insurance companies that were contracted through the Federal Employee Health Benefits Program. The fraud allegedly took place between 1998 and 2004.
In May, the company agreed to pay the United States $2.3 million. It also forfeited $584,000 in assets and is set to pay the remaining $720,000 by July 21st.
