Louisville-based Heuser Health agreed to pay $2,646,186.72 to resolve allegations that it overbilled Medicare and TRICARE for expensive skin-substitute products used in wound care.
Federal rules required the company to bill based on its actual invoice price. The government alleged Heuser Health submitted claims using higher invoice amounts, which drove reimbursements above what taxpayers should have paid.
It is amazing how a “skin substitute” can apparently turn into a cash substitute when the invoice starts stretching.
The settlement resolves allegations only and does not determine liability.
