Firm seeks settlement of Medicaid claims probe
Source: By Jim McElhatton, THE WASHINGTON TIMES, February 12, 2007
U.S. Department of Justice criminal division lawyers say a Reston-based government consulting company either "willfully or recklessly" submitted inaccurate Medicaid claims on behalf of the D.C. government, the company recently disclosed.
Officials with Maximus Inc. said in a recent Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) filing that they disagree with the criminal division lawyers' assessment. The company also said it is engaged in ongoing talks with the Justice Department concerning a potential civil settlement, the SEC filing states.
