Answer — Integra v. Providence (Dkt. 89, C.D. Cal.)

Summary

The Providence Defendants' answer to the second amended complaint in United States ex rel. Integra Med Analytics LLC v. Providence Health & Services, et al., No. 2:17-cv-01694-PSG-SS, in the U.S. District Court for the Central District of California, filed August 21, 2019 as Document 89 by Hooper, Lundy & Bookman, P.C. In paragraph-by-paragraph responses, the hospital defendants deny unwarranted use of MCC secondary codes, falsely inflated or intentionally false Medicare claims, and pushing doctors toward unwarranted diagnoses. They admit that the relator seeks to recover over $188.1 million, that they operate 34 hospitals, and that certain facilities contracted with JATA for clinical documentation support. The 38-page answer reserves further affirmative defenses, preserves a jury trial request, and asks that the relator take nothing.
