Attorney General John M. Formella announced a settlement with Maxim Healthcare Services resolving a dispute over the adequacy of Maxim’s documentation of home health aide services. In May 2022, the New Hampshire Department of Health and Human Services’ Administrative Appeals Unit upheld an audit by New Hampshire Healthy Families, which found that Maxim’s documentation was insufficient. As a result, Maxim was required to repay $28,269.50. Despite this ruling, Maxim did not seek judicial review of the decision and continued to document services in the same manner deemed insufficient by the Appeals Unit. To resolve the issue and avoid further legal action, Maxim has agreed to pay an additional $100,000 to the State, on top of the $28,269.50 previously ordered. Maxim has also committed to improving its compliance by enhancing its electronic visit verification (EVV) technology.
