Federal prosecutors say between Feb. 2003 and Dec. 2009, the company filed false claims to the government for in-home, self-administered sleep studies that were purportedly supervised by sleep technologists. The complaint also states the studies were billed to federal programs despite not qualifying for reimbursement.
Although the business has agreed to pay to settle the case, it maintains it did nothing wrong. An attorney for the company says the sleep study kits were ordered by a physician and were medically necessary, according to the report.
