According to the news report, HHS is investigating data related to patient admissions, length of stay and discharge matters at HealthSouth Hospital of Houston.
Last year, two former HealthSouth Hospital employees accused the operator of wrongful termination after refusing to commit Medicare fraud. HealthSouth does not know if the federal subpoena is connected to the letter. The company has since refused to partake in settlement talks with the former employees and did disclose the letter’s contents to authorities, according to the news report.
