$25.5 Million Settlement Reached by Lincare Holdings in Respiratory Fraud Case
Daniel J. Ocasio and Christopher Piacentile, members of the DJO Whistleblower Law Group, have settled a case with Lincare Holdings for $25.5 million. Following settlements with Apria in 2021 and Supercare in 2022, this marks the third agreement regarding allegations of respiratory fraud they have reached. Lincare Holdings, Inc., a subsidiary of Linde plc, agreed to this amount to resolve allegations of fraudulent billing for non-invasive ventilator (NIV) rentals to Medicare and Medicaid.
The announcement was made by the Southern District of New York prosecutor, emphasizing Lincare's admission to billing practices that were not in compliance with federal health program rules. The settlement also includes a violation of the Anti-Kickback Statute for waiving coinsurance payments for certain beneficiaries. Whistleblowers involved in exposing these practices will receive significant compensation.
Daniel Ocasio and Christopher Piacentile's contribution was highlighted, noting their dedication and expertise in pursuing this case. The DJO Whistleblower Law Group thanked the brave individuals who reported these actions, underscoring the importance and impact of whistleblowers in the fight against fraud.
