A Bridgeport, CT pediatrics practice agreed to pay more than $450,000 to federal and private healthcare payers in the wake of allegations that it billed for vaccines it received for free, according to the Connecticut Post.
The practice, Main Street Pediatrics, will pay roughly $230,000 in restitution to private insurers and roughly an additional $230,000 settlement to Medicare as a result of the deal. The settlement helped the practice to avoid a civil suit under the False Claims Act.
