The remaining claims amount to $1 million, plus another $4.5 million to cover the legal fees for whistle-blower ElinBaklid-Kunz. The hospital also paid $85 million in a settlement in March, related to Baklid-Kunz’s claims regarding Medicare billing and physician contracts, the News Journal reports.
