BURLINGTON, Vt. (AP) — Federal prosecutors in Vermont say they have settled a false claims case against a Florida company that makes electronic medical records software for more than $57 million.
Vermont U.S. Attorney Christina Nolan says the settlement announced Wednesday with Greenway Health, of Tampa, was the second largest of its kind in Vermont history. The largest settlement was a similar health records case settled in the spring of 2017 for $155 million.
Nolan says Greenway misrepresented the capabilities of its product known as "Prime Suite," which is used across the country to track patient medical records.
Prosecutors also allege Greenway paid $750,000 in kickbacks to medical providers to recommend the software.
In a statement, Greenway said the settlement was not an admission of wrongdoing and all its products remain certified.
