SWAMPSCOTT — RM Transport, a non-emergency medical transport service, will pay $380,000 to the Commonwealth as part of a settlement with Attorney General Andrea Joy Campbell’s Office.

The settlement is meant to resolve allegations that the organization headquartered on Paradise Road charged the state’s medicaid insurance program, MassHealth, for services RM Transport did not actually provide. According to the AGO, the company intentionally submitted false claims to the Montachusett Regional Transport Authority. The allegedly fraudulent claims included instances when medical facilities were closed and patients with Methadone doses who were not going to clinics. The AGO asserts the actions constitute violations of the Massachusetts False Claims Act and the Medicaid False Claims Statute.

In addition to the financial penalty, RM Transport will have to implement a three-year independent compliance monitoring program at its own expense.

“The compliance program will result in updated policies and procedures to ensure compliance with MassHealth requirements, along with training for staff on the updated policies and procedures, and annual record and on-site audits,” The AGO said in a press release.

Assistant Attorney General Mary-Ellen Kennedy, Investigations Supervisor Dean Bates, Senior Health Care Fraud Investigator William Welsh, and Health Care Fraud Investigator Kathleen Tansey were all credited as playing large roles in the settlement process.
