The settlement agreement resolves allegations that Turtle Creek employed an individual who was excluded from participating in any Federal health care program. OIG's investigation revealed that the excluded individual, a counselor, provided items or services to Turtle Creek's patients that were billed to Federal health care programs. Deputy Branch Chief Nicole Caucci represented OIG with the assistance of Paralegal Specialist Eula Taylor.
