In an Oct. 5 news release from the Massachusetts attorney general’s office, the state alleged that Brockton, Mass.-based Luminosity Behavioral Health Services billed the state for higher levels of services than it provided and billed Medicaid for a code not applicable to its services. 

In addition to the settlement cost, Luminosity will implement a three-year independent compliance monitoring program, according to the news release.

At the Becker's Fall Behavioral Health Summit, taking place November 4–5 in Chicago, behavioral health leaders and executives will explore strategies for expanding access to care, integrating services, addressing workforce challenges and leveraging innovation to improve outcomes across the behavioral health continuum.
