US-based EHR vendor hit with $31M fine in whistleblower lawsuit

July 17, 2023
By Mark McCarty
The False Claims Act (FCA) has generated billions of dollars in fines each year in the U.S., and Atlanta-based Nextgen Healthcare Inc., is the latest to find itself on the wrong end of a whistleblower lawsuit based on the FCA. The U.S. Department of Justice reported that Nextgen will hand over $31 million to settle allegations that the vendor of electronic health records (EHR) not only misrepresented the capabilities of its software, but also paid kickbacks to physician providers to use its software, a pair of violations that have dinged the company’s finances and its reputation.
