The United States has filed and settled a healthcare fraud lawsuit against New York-Presbyterian Hudson Valley Hospital (NYPHV), which, prior to 2015, was known as Hudson Valley Hospital Center (Hudson Valley). The settlement resolves allegations that NYPHV improperly paid millions of dollars to a Westchester-based oncology practice (the “Oncology Practice”) to induce patient referrals to the hospital, which NYPHV then billed to Medicare and Medicaid. Under the settlement, NYPHV agreed to pay a total sum of $6,836,764.30 plus interest, with $6,469,410.32 to be paid to the United States and the remainder to be paid to New York State.
