On September 15, 2017, Sundance Behavioral Healthcare System (Sundance), Texas, entered into a $49,183.48 settlement agreement with OIG. The settlement agreement resolves allegations that Sundance employed an individual who was excluded from participating in any Federal health care programs. OIG's investigation revealed that the excluded individual, a licensed vocational nurse, provided items or services to Sundance patients that were billed to Federal health care programs. Deputy Branch Chief Nicole Caucci represented OIG with the assistance of Paralegal Specialist Jennifer Hilton.
