Philadelphia-Area Hospitals Fess Up to Overbilling Medicare and Agree to Pay $7.9 Million

By Nolan and Auerbach

ADVERTISEMENTS

Three Philadelphia-area hospitals self-disclosed to the government that on several occasions, they had improperly billed Medicare for ?one-day inpatient hospital admissions? which should have been billed as ?observations? or ?outpatient visits.? The hospitals agreed to pay the government a total of $7.9 million to resolve concerns about the miscoded claims. This is an emerging area for whistleblower lawsuits due to RAC audits and other new checks and balances.
