BlueCross BlueShield of Tennessee (BCBS-T) agreed to pay $2.1 million to settle allegations that it violated the False Claims Act.
 
According to the Department of Justice (DOJ) release, Riverbend Government Benefit Administrators, a BCBS-T subsidiary that provides Medicare payment services for health care providers in 47 states, failed to adjust the cost-to-charge ratios for many New Jersey hospitals in a timely manner between 2000 and 2002. Failing to do so, resulted in the payment of excessive ”outlier payments” by Medicare to those medical facilities.
