U. S. Attorney Byung J. “BJay” Pak of the Northern District of Georgia announced Friday that Signature HealthCare has agreed to pay more than $30 million to resolve allegations that it violated the False Claims Act.

The Louisville, Kentucky-based company owns and operates about 125 skilled nursing facilities, including operations in Georgia. Pak said Signature has agreed to resolve allegations that it knowingly submitted false claims to Medicare for rehabilitation therapy services that were not reasonable, necessary and skilled. Pak said those charges are allegations only and that Signature has made no admission of liability.
