USHW ran 78 occupational and urgent care clinics in California. In 2018, USHW was bought by Select Medical, and the clinics were renamed Concentra.
The complaint alleges that USHW's failure to refund overpayments is a violation of the state's Unclaimed Property Law and the California False Claims Act.
Select Medical declined to comment on the complaint but said it is prepared to vigorously defend itself in court.
California Attorney General Rob Bonta has filed a complaint against U.S. HealthWorks Inc., claiming that the Los Angeles-based national chain of occupational and urgent care clinics knowingly withheld from the state millions of dollars in unclaimed overpayments.
The complaint, filed this month in Los Angeles County Superior Court, alleges that USHW's actions and its failure to timely refund the overpayments is a violation of the state's Unclaimed Property Law and the California False Claims Act.
“Let’s get one thing straight: corporate evasion is corporate fraud,” Bonta said. “Companies don’t get to pick and choose when to follow the law because it serves their benefit. When companies cheat the State of California, they cheat the people of California.”
