Skilled Nursing Facilities Agree to Pay

Strauss Ventures LLC, doing business as The Grand Health Care System (The Grand), and 12 affiliated skilled nursing facilities have agreed to resolve allegations that they violated the False Claims Act by knowingly billing federal health care programs for therapy services that were unreasonable, unnecessary, unskilled, or that did not occur as billed. The Grand allegedly submitted bills where the reimbursement claimed was based on providing more therapy than was reasonable and necessary or in some cases where the therapists did not provide the amount of therapy reported.
