A major provider of home hospice and health care services has settled whistleblower claims for $150 million, according to the U.S. Attorney’s Office in the Eastern District of Pennsylvania.

The company, Amedisys, settled seven separate suits filed under the qui tam provisions of the False Claims Act with the agreement. Just over $26 million of the total will be split between the relators, who will collect between $500,000 and $19 million each. The rest goes to the government.
