MA Attorney General Andrea Joy Campbell announced that her office has reached a $1.045 million settlement with Traveler’s Transit, Inc. (Traveler’s), a Millville-based non-emergency transportation provider, resolving allegations that the company submitted false claims to MassHealth and the Department of Developmental Services (DDS) for contracted routes not actually driven and failed to have required staff monitors onboard for certain routes. As part of the settlement, Traveler’s will pay $1.045 million to the Commonwealth, including for restitution to MassHealth and DDS, and implement a three-year independent compliance monitoring program at its own expense. The compliance program will result in updated policies and procedures to ensure compliance with state and federal laws, trainings for staff on the updated policies and procedures, and periodic audits, amongst other requirements. “When companies violate our laws and defraud crucial state programs, taxpayer-funded resources are wasted and the integrity of our public programs are put at risk. I am proud to announce this settlement, which will provide meaningful restitution to the Commonwealth and ensure compliance with laws that enable our state programs to serve the millions of residents who depend on them.” – AG Campbell
