Federal prosecutors unsealed a lawsuit today alleging Diagnostic Physicians Group, a subsidiary of Infirmary Health System, Inc., unlawfully billed government healthcare programs more than $521 million over a period of six years, leading to nearly $20 million in overpayments to the group.

According to the complaint, the defendants “knowingly submitted false and fraudulent claims and payment request certifications” by constructing false records, documents and statements, generating more than $18.6 million in claims paid out to Diagnostic Physicians Group (DPG) over the same time.
