A telehealth company that provided mental health services through video appointments admitted it billed Medicare and Medicaid for patient appointments that never took place — and agreed to pay $300,000 to resolve the allegations.
The company, Aptihealth, Inc., and Aptihealth Medical, PLLC, is based in Clifton Park, New York. According to the U.S. Department of Justice's announcement on June 23, 2026, the settlement resolves False Claims Act allegations that included billing for patient appointments where patients did not show up, billing for patient messages without regard to whether those communications involved billable clinical content, and billing for psychological testing services that were not adequately documented.
