The states and federal government alleged FORBA billed state Medicaid programs for medically unnecessary dental services performed on children insured by Medicaid.
Under the agreement, FORBA will pay the states and federal government $24 million, plus interest, and enter into a five-year corporate integrity agreement with the Department of Health and Human Services' Office of the Inspector General. Oklahoma's share of the settlement is expected to be about $700,000 and will be used to reimburse the state's Medicaid program for the questioned charges.
FORBA provided management services to Small Smiles dental clinics across the country, including three in Oklahoma.
