Affirming an earlier state order, an administrative law judge said a medical-supplies and personal-care-assistance company should repay $135,214 in state funds for improperly-billed wages and services, according to a decision made public this month..
Â
In early 2007, the state Department of Human Services audited the records of 14 clients of Healthworks Home Medical Inc. and Healthworks PCA, Inc.
Â
In many cases Healthworks failed to provide documentation supporting claims made during a six-month period. Timesheets also showed that Healthworks submitted wage claims for two employees actually working other jobs, one at a school district, the other at a bank.
Â
In 2010, Whistleblower reported how a man was left without an oxygen supplier after Healthworks suddenly went out of business.
