The U.S. Attorney's Office says Upper Allegheny Health System (UAHS), a health care system that operates several dental clinics in the Southern Tier and Pennsylvania, has agreed to pay the $2.7 million to resolve False Claim Act allegations.
Between April 1, 2010, and May 31, 2015, UAHS allegedly submitted false claims to Medicaid for dental services that were performed using dental tools that were not appropriately sterilized.
