A Tampa-based pharmacy has reached a settlement to pay over $17 million after facing allegations of submitting fraudulent Medicare claims for over-the-counter COVID-19 tests.

The U.S. Department of Justice for the Middle District of Florida reported that VRA Enterprises, LLC, operating as Precision Rx, allegedly billed Medicare for COVID-19 tests that were either not provided to beneficiaries or dispatched months following the billing period, spanning from August 2022 to May 2023.

Legal representatives revealed that VRA submitted around 136,491 claims to Medicare for COVID-19 tests that were not delivered to beneficiaries until April 2023.
