SCAN’s payment is the largest of its kind from a single provider in Medi-Cal, the state health program for the poor and disabled.
SCAN also paid an additional $3.8 million to settle a whistle-blower accusation that the company received Medicare overpayments because it withheld information about patient diagnosis codes.
California will receive $190.5 million of the settlement and the federal government will take $129.4 million.
