In the sentencing, U.S. District Judge Robert N. Scola, Jr. ordered Altec to pay a $2 million fine and to forfeit $1 million. The judge also ordered the company to be on probation for one year.

 

In a criminal information filed with the court, the government charged that Altec paid its supplier and co-conspirator William D. Rodriguez, approximately $55 million for prescription drugs that it knew had been diverted from lawful channels of drug wholesale distribution.    “Drug Diversion” refers to various ways in which prescription drugs are removed from lawful channels of distribution and then reintroduced into the marketplace for sale to consumers. In drug diversion schemes, prescription drugs at issue are often stolen from warehouses or cargo trucks; torn from boxes of free samples, repackaged and resold; or bought from individual patients looking to make extra money.

"James W. Carell, CareAll Management LLC (formerly known as Diversifi ed He alth Mana gement Inc.), C are All Inc., the James W. Car ell Family Trust, V IP Home Nursing and Reh abilitation Servi ces L LC, Professional Home He alth Care L LC, University Home H ealth, LLC and Elizabeth Vining (as representative of the Estate of Robert Vining) have agreed to pay $9.375 million to the federal government.   This payment is to resolve the lawsuit that the United States filed in 2009 alleging that they violated the False Claims Act, caused Medicare to pay out money through mistake of fact, and were unjustly enriched by falsely concealing the home health agencies’ relationship with their management company, the Justice Department announced today."  

"VIP, Professional and University now operate under the name CareAll.   James W. Carell and the related CareAll entities named above also agreed to be bound by the terms of a Corporate Integrity Agreement with the Department of Health and Human Services – Office of Inspector General (HHS-OIG)."  

"CareAll and its related entities are one of the largest home health providers in Tennessee.   This settlement resolves the United States’ lawsuit alleging that the CareAll entities fraudulently submitted eight cost reports for fiscal years 1999, 2000 and 2001 to support their Medicare billings.   The United States alleged that these cost reports were false because they knowingly hid the relationship between the management company and the home health agencies.   According to the complaint the United States filed in this case, the cost reports should have disclosed that the management company was related to the home health agencies, which would have lowered the Medicare reimbursement for the management company’s services.   During the relevant years, the United States alleged that James W. Carell owned the management company, and his friend Robert Vining – an attorney who lived in Missouri – served as the nominee or “sham” owner of the home health agencies."
