Tenet to Pay $513 Million Over Kickbacks

Tenet and two of its Atlanta subsidiaries recently agreed to pay $513 million to resolve claims accusing the chain of paying kickbacks to direct pregnant Medicaid patients to their hospitals. Under the pleas, the subsidiaries will forfeit $145 million, which is the amount the hospitals gained from Medicaid and Medicare funds. The hospital chain allegedly signed sham contracts for interpreter services with clinics that serve Hispanic women, and in exchange, the clinics sent pregnant customers to Tenet hospitals for deliveries that were billed to Medicaid from 2000 to 2013. The referrals caused the pregnant women to bypass other hospitals and travel farther during vulnerable times. Tenet also agreed to pay $368 million to settle alleged False Claims Act violations, with the United States receiving $244 million and the State of Georgia receiving most of the remainder.
