The Connecticut U.S. Attorney’s Office and the Office of the Attorney General announced Thursday afternoon that they have entered into a civil settlement agreement with a medical equipment supplier that will pay $467,000 to settle allegations under the False Claims Act.

Orange-based Med Tech LLC has agreed to pay the settlement after an investigation found the company had billed the Medicaid program for transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulator devices and back braces that were not medically necessary. As part of the 20-page settlement agreement, the company is not admitting liability. Med Tech is enrolled as a provider in the Connecticut Medical Assistance Program, which includes the state’s Medicaid program.
