Mindpath Care Centers, North Carolina, PLLC, North Carolina’s largest behavioral health practice with offices statewide, along with former officers Jeff Williams, Abigail Sheriff, and Sarah Williams, paid $1,900,000 to the United States to resolve allegedly false Medicare claims billed for psychotherapy and related services. This settlement arose from whistleblower allegations that Mindpath fraudulently billed for Psychotherapy and medication management sessions. The United States filed a complaint alleging that Defendants “systematically billed for fraudulent Psychotherapy treatments, without required documentation of the separate time and Psychotherapy treatments of patients to maximize their profits, all in blatant disregard of Medicare billing requirements.” More specifically, the Government alleged that, from 2018 to 2020, Mindpath billed Medicare without providing documentation of “separate and distinct Psychotherapy treatments”, “failed to adequately correct problems repeatedly raised by Mindpath employees,” and “demonstrated a pattern of reckless disregard or deliberate ignorance toward stated concerns about billing fraud” while being “primarily focused on generating income.” Ultimately, Mindpath agreed to pay $1.9 million to resolve the False Claims Act allegations.
