Specifically, the investigation concerns possible breaches of fiduciary duties by the Company's officers and directors in connection with overbilling Medicare and Medicaid by $50 million while running St. Vincent Catholic Medical Centers. It is alleged that after Huron took control of the hospitals, it authorized tens of millions of dollars in bogus outlier claims -- supplemental reimbursements offered by Medicare and Medicaid to protect hospitals that provide unusually expensive inpatient treatment -- and even kept track of the fraud in a second set of books.
