Mass.-based laboratory-testing service and its owners paid more than $1.5 million to resolve allegations that they overbilled Connecticut’s Medicaid program, prosecutors say.
Clinical Science Laboratory Inc. (CSL), of Mansfield, Mass., and its owners Stanley Elfbaum and Louis Amoruso entered into a civil settlement agreement with the federal and state governments after being accused of violating Connecticut’s so-called “Most Favored Nation” regulation, the Connecticut U.S. Attorney’s Office said Thursday.
Medicaid regulations mandate that clinical laboratories should not seek payment from Connecticut Medicaid for services at a price that is higher than the lower price the laboratory charges for the same or similar service from other third parties.
