A Springfield, Mass., Medicaid home health provider will pay $430,000 to settle allegations that it falsely billed the state’s Medicaid program.
 
According to state Attorney General Maura Healey, Allied Health Systems billed the state for services for which it did not have valid plans of care signed by a physician.
 
In addition to the financial payment, the settlement also includes a requirement that Allied must operate under a three-year compliance program overseen by an independent compliance monitor. That program will include updated policies and procedures, new training for staff and yearly on-site audits conducted by the monitor. Allied will pay for the compliance monitoring program.
