MOBILE, Ala. — Saad Healthcare, operating in Mobile and Baldwin counties, has reached a significant settlement of $3 million following allegations of violating the False Claims Act. The settlement stems from claims that the healthcare group engaged in improper billing practices, which ultimately led to inflated charges to federal healthcare programs.

This settlement highlights ongoing concerns regarding compliance within the healthcare sector and the importance of adhering to regulations designed to protect patients and taxpayers alike.
As part of the agreement, Saad Healthcare has committed to implement enhanced compliance measures to prevent future violations. The settlement reflects a broader effort by authorities to hold healthcare providers accountable and ensure that federal funds are utilized appropriately. The case serves as a reminder of the critical need for transparency and ethical practices in the healthcare industry.
