Long Beach Insurance Provider to Pay Medi-Cal $320M Settlement

Long Beach, Calif.-based SCAN Health Plan has agreed to pay the state's Medicaid program $320 million to settle allegations it received over payments going back to 1985, according to the Los Angeles Times.

SCAN's payment is the largest of its kind from a single provider in Medi-Cal, the state health program for the poor and disabled.

SCAN also paid an additional $3.8 million to settle a whistle-blower accusation that the company received Medicare overpayments because it withheld information about patient diagnosis codes.

California will receive $190.5 million of the settlement and the federal government will take $129.4 million.
