Violation Description: The United States filed and settled a civil fraud lawsuit against THE DOOR-A CENTER OF ALTERNATIVES. The Government's Complaint-in-Intervention alleged that The Door, a healthcare provider in New York City, violated the False Claims Act by fraudulently overreporting the number of visits to its healthcare facility. This overreporting resulted in The Door receiving excessive funding from the Indigent Care Pool, which is a program funded by both the federal government and New York State, that reimburses certain healthcare providers for uncompensated care rendered to low-income New Yorkers. Under the settlement, The Door will pay $2,725,514.51 to the United States and has admitted and accepted responsibility for conduct alleged by the Government in the Complaint as further described below.
