Genesis Healthcare will pay the federal government $53.6 million to settle six lawsuits alleging that companies the post-acute care system acquired submitted false Medicare claims for unnecessary treatment and delivered grossly substandard nursing care, the U.S. Justice Department announced Friday.
Kennett Square, Penn.-based Genesis, which is one of the nation’s largest investor-owned skilled nursing, senior living and rehabilitation therapy providers with more than 500 skilled-nursing facilities in 34 states, has acquired a number of post-acute care providers over the past several years.
