BACKGROUND: 

Pursuant to the OIG Self Disclosure Protocol, University Medical Center of Southern Nevada (“UMC”) made a submission to the Department of Health and Human Services (“DHHS”) regarding certain payments by UMC pursuant to a professional services agreement that were inconsistent with the written agreement of the parties. This amount resulted in overpayments to UMC by the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services, an agency of DHHS. The issue was identified by UMC and reported in accordance with regulatory requirements.
This matter will be resolved and UMC will be released from claims or causes of action under applicable law in exchange for a payment of One Hundred Twenty-Eight Thousand Eight Hundred and Twenty Dollars and 00/100 cents ($128,820.00). This resolution is not an admission of liability by UMC.

The settlement is recommended by UMC Administration, UMC’s outside counsel and UMC’s Office of General Counsel.
