An Indianapolis-based nursing home company will pay $376,000 to the state and federal governments over accusations that it submitted ineligible bills to Medicaid, according to the Associated Press. Indiana Attorney General Greg Zoeller said Monday that the bills from American Senior Communities LLC were for the work of seven employees who have been excluded from the Medicaid program. The company has denied liability. Zoeller says the federal government excludes health care workers who are convicted of various crimes from participating in Medicaid and other federally funded health programs He said the settlement is the largest his office has received in a Medicaid excluded-provider case to date.

WellPoint Inc.’s management team will shrink to eight following the departures of two more top executives. Cynthia Miller, the health insurer’s chief actuary, and Bradley Fluegel, chief strategy officer, both are leaving the Indianapolis-based company, according to a WellPoint securities filing. It did not precisely say when the officers' employment would end. Both executives, along with CEO Angela Braly, played prominent public roles when the company became the center of controversy in the health care reform debate. Miller appeared with Braly before Congress to defend premium hikes for individual customers in California. Fluegel handled WellPoint’s government relations during the 10-month reform debate. Miller and Fluegel’s departures follow the exit of Dijuana Lewis, who clashed with Braly in October. Lewis was terminated “without cause” but is helping with the transition of her duties to others within the company. In place of Miller, WellPoint Chief Financial Officer Wayne DeVeydt will assume responsibility for the actuarial group. Fluegel’s government relations and communications duties will be assumed by General Counsel John Cannon and his strategic and marketing oversight will be handled by Brian Sassi, WellPoint’s president of consumer business.
Indiana politicians have never shown an interest in leaving the redistricting duty to others, and don’t look for it to happen anytime soon.
