(Reuters) - Electronic health records vendor NextGen Healthcare
Inc has agreed to pay $31 million to resolve allegations that the
company violated the False Claims Act, the U.S. Justice Department said
on Friday.
NextGen made the alleged violation by misrepresenting the capabilities
of certain versions of its electronic health records software and
providing unlawful remuneration to its users as an inducement to
recommend the company's software, according to a statement from the
Justice Department.
