The government alleged that CardioNet improperly billed Medicare and other federal health care programs for certain cardiac monitoring services — including Holter, event monitoring, and mobile cardiovascular telemetry (MCT) tests — that were performed overseas in violation of federal law that prohibits payment for services furnished outside the United States, the Justice Department said in a statement.
The heart monitoring tests were performed in many cases by technicians who were not qualified to perform such tests, the statement said.
