Two Florida hospitals --Lehigh Regional Medical Center and Santa Rosa Medical Center in Milton -- are part of a nearly $16 million settlement involving allegations of false Medicare claims, according to a news release from the U.S. Department of Justice. Among the 16 hospitals included in the False Claims Act lawsuit, 14 were owned by HMA, including the two in Florida, the Fort Myers News-Press reports. The false claims came from services administered between 2005 and 2013.
