The Motion pleads, "Although the United States contends that it has set forth sufficient facts alleging its cause of action, the amendments set forth with more specificity (1) the Defendants’ payment of and receipt of annual payments made and received through 2013 as a result of the Abernathy Settlement Agreement, (2) their liability under the MSP Statute stemming from the annual payments, (3) additional information concerning the identified Medicare beneficiaries among the Abernathy Plaintiffs, (4) changes to certain allegations based on facts included in Court filings, and (5) the removal of The Cody Law Firm as a defendant."
CMS alleges that the parties knew of the outstanding conditional payments made by CMS and failed to reimburse the payments under the MSP Act.
