Lompoc Valley Medical Center (LVMC), a California healthcare system that operates multiple providers including a hospital and several clinics, has agreed to pay $5 million to resolve allegations that it violated the False Claims Act and the California False Claims Act by submitting false claims to Medi-Cal, the state’s Medicaid program.
The alleged false claims were related to Medicaid Adult Expansion under the Affordable Care Act, according to the Department of Justice.
