$2.6M
The state attorney general's office announced it has reached a $2.6 million settlement with a Leominster-based ambulance company. MedStar Ambulance Inc., along with its parent corporation and affiliates, settled with the office of Attorney General Andrea Campbell to resolve allegations that the company submitted false claims to MassHealth, the state’s Medicaid program. MedStar provides services to several Central and Western Massachusetts cities and towns including Worcester, Fitchburg and Leominster. Campbell's office contended that the company knowingly submitted false claims to MassHealth for emergency ambulance services when only a less expensive level of service was provided.
