KY receives nearly $1 million in urine testing fraud case Kentucky Attorney General Andy Beshears announces that settlement funds from Millenium Health go directly into Kentucky's Medicaid Program Click on headline for complete story By Terry Sebastian, Commonwealth News Center News from Kentucky Attorney General Andy Beshear's Office FRANKFORT, KY. (Fri 8 Jan 2016) - Attorney General Andy Beshear announced today that Kentucky has received $945,114 as part of a $256 million, multi-state settlement with Millennium Health, one of the largest urine drug testing laboratories in the United States. The $256 million settlement, reached in November, settles allegations that Millennium Health systematically billed Medicare, Medicaid and other federal health care programs for excessive and unnecessary urine drug testing and provided free items to doctors who agreed to refer expensive laboratory testing business to Millennium. General Beshear's Medicaid Fraud and Abuse Unit headed Kentucky's efforts on the case. General Beshear has charged the unit with investigating and prosecuting any health care provider who fraudulently bills or abuses the Medicaid system. "Medicaid and its expansion provide a critical service that helps Kentucky's most vulnerable citizens," General Beshear said. "As the Attorney General, I am committed to holding any company that defrauds Medicaid accountable. The actions of companies like Millennium defraud not only the government but the people government serves." The Kentucky Office of the Attorney General joined 48 other states, the District of Columbia and the federal government in March on a lawsuit filed by whistleblowers under the federal False Claims Act against Millennium. The claims resolved by the settlement are allegations only, and there has been no determination of liability. For more information or to report provider fraud, contact the Medicaid Fraud and Abuse Control Division at 877-228-7384. This story was posted on 2016-01-08 18:22:54
