RALEIGH – Attorney General Jeff Jackson and the United States Attorney’s Office for the Middle District of North Carolina reached a $584,143 settlement with Crossroads Treatment Center of Greensboro, P.C. (Crossroads) to settle allegations that Crossroads submitted false claims to the Medicaid program. Half of the funds will go back to the Medicaid program and half will go to fund North Carolina public schools.
“This is the best-case scenario for addressing fraud and waste in the Medicaid program,” said Attorney General Jeff Jackson. “A managed care organization flagged something that was out of pattern, we worked with our federal partners and the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Middle District to investigate, and the facility cooperated with us to resolve the issues and repay the Medicaid program. We’re going to protect every single dollar taxpayer dollar to ensure it goes to taxpayer healthcare.”
“False claims undermine the integrity of the Medicaid program and waste valuable taxpayer dollars,” said First Assistant United States Attorney Mike DeFranco. “It is the mission of this to identify and hold accountable providers that seek to enrich themselves and defraud taxpayers by submitting such claims. Together with our partners at the North Carolina Attorney General’s Office, we will continue to identify fraud and pursue justice on behalf of Medicaid.”
