A dental management company with multiple Texas clinics has agreed to a nearly $24 million settlement with federal prosecutors after being accused of submitting false claims to state Medicaid programs – including Texas’ – and performing unnecessary dental work on children.
The settlement with Benevis LLC – as well as its affiliated Kool Smiles clinics – was announced Thursday by the U.S. Justice Department. The company said in a statement Friday that the settlement was voluntary, and did not involve any admission or determination of wrongdoing.
