Horizon West, Inc. Paying $14.7 million for Inflating Costs to Medicare

Horizon is paying $14.7 million to settle civil False Claims Act violations for falsely inflating nursing costs to the Medicare program from 1991 to 1998. Horizon will also pay a $500,00 criminal fine for two counts of submitting falsely inflated cost reports to Medicare. Horizon has a nursing home chain with approximately 30 facilities in California and Utah. Cost reports are an under-enforced area of violations, where hiding improper costs without checks and balances, is made easy by current cost reporting law, regulations, and protocol.
