For over 3 years, UHS has consistently disclosed the existence in our public filings of government investigations of UHS and a number of specific UHS behavioral health subsidiary facilities being conducting by the HHS Office of Inspector General and the U.S. Department of Justice along with several state Attorneys General. UHS takes these matters very seriously and is cooperating with all agencies involved. Investigations such as these are an unfortunate but common reality facing the healthcare provider industry. In light of the large amount of federal and state reimbursement healthcare providers receive from various government payor programs, the experience of audits, recoupments and investigations are a regular part of operations. In response to the various requests for information, UHS and the facilities have submitted millions of pages of materials and documents. During this time, many UHS facilities, including the ones that are the subject of document requests, have received numerous third party accolades and recognitions for providing high quality clinical and patient care practices and outcomes. After 3 years of review, there have not been any negative formal findings of fact or law, governmentinitiated lawsuits, or charges filed. In fact, the only official findings/actions related to these matters were the dismissal with prejudice of a False Claims Act qui tam suit in federal court in Illinois after the federal and Illinois state governments declined to intervene and the dismissal of a qui tam suit involving Roxbury Treatment Center. Moreover, many of the facilities that received document requests were acquired by UHS from prior operators in the last several years and the government’s records requests to those facilities seek documents which in part pre-date UHS’ acquisition and operational control of the facilities. When UHS acquires a new facility, we rigorously assess the operation and where needed, make adjustments in procedures and practices to ensure compliance with our proven protocols and high standards of care. In many circumstances, we believe that we will be able to demonstrate that once UHS assumed ownership and management of the facilities, quality of care and operational compliance improved compared to situations under the prior owners. Regarding the ongoing criminal investigation, we believe that the expansion of that investigation is related at least in part to the Department of Justice’s new policy of examining allegations in all civil False Claims Act cases for a potential parallel criminal investigation. As such, criminal investigations that accompany civil investigations are becoming a more commonplace occurrence in the health care industry. UHS unequivocally disputes any allegations that it has engaged in civil or criminal fraud in this matter and will continue to vigorously defend itself and its affiliate facilities. UHS remains hopeful that our ongoing cooperative efforts with the federal government will clearly demonstrate the high quality of our compliance and patient safety practices over the past 37 years.
