The Commonwealth of Massachusetts Office of the Attorney General today announced a civil settlement with CleanSlate Centers and its founder and former Chief Executive Officer Dr. Amanda Wilson. The settlement resolves allegations that CleanSlate, an opioid addition treatment center, submitted false and fraudulent claims to MassHealth and Medicare for patients in Massachusetts. CleanSlate and Dr. Wilson will pay $4.5 million. In addition, CleanSlate is required to enter into an independent compliance program with annual audits.
