Massachusetts Attorney General Andrea Joy Campbell’s office secured a $1.6 million settlement with STAT Ambulance Services, Inc., Southcoast Emergency Medical Services, Inc., and their owner, Carol Mansfield, to address false billing allegations. These North Dartmouth-based companies were accused of submitting inflated claims to MassHealth and Medicare. The settlement mandates a refund and the implementation of an independent compliance monitor and training to ensure compliance with healthcare laws and regulations.
