The U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) announced an almost $1.4 million Medicaid billing settlement with Dental Dreams.
Dental Dreams is a dental clinic chain with offices in 11 states, including Massachusetts. The U.S. Attorney's Office and Massachussetts Attorney General's Office claim that Dental Dreams billed the state's MassHealth dental Medicaid program for unnecessary and unjustifiable procedures, including surgical extractions of teeth. A former employee of the company filed the lawsuit.
