◆ University Medical Center of Southern Nevada has agreed to pay $128,820 in a civil monetary penalty settlement that stemmed from a self-disclosure. According to the settlement, which was obtained through the Freedom of Information Act, the HHS Office of Inspector General contends the University Medical Center of Southern Nevada paid a physician remuneration “in the form of payments for services that were not included in the personal services contract it had with” the physician from July 1, 2016, through June 30, 2020. The hospital didn’t admit liability in the settlement.
