10. HA!! Emory just got busted

Emory University pays $1.5M to settle False Claims Act case

Emory University will pay $1.5 million to settle claims it billed Medicare and Medicaid for cancer clinical trial services not allowed under Medicare and Medicaid rules.

About $70,000 of the settlement will go to Georgia.

The United States and Georgia alleged Emory billed Medicare and Medicaid for services the clinical trial sponsor agreed to pay and, in some cases actually did pay, resulting in Emory getting paid twice for the same service.

The case came about from a whistleblower lawsuit filed by Elizabeth Elliot, a former research finance manager at Emory. She will get $322,500 of the settlement, plus $11,250 for wrongful termination claims.

The United States Attorney’s Office for the Northern District of Georgia and Attorney General Sam Olens said claims settled are allegations only and there was no determination of liability.
