Hoveround Corporation Claimed Millions in Federal Reimbursement for Power Mobility Devices That Did Not Meet Medicare Requirements 

Hoveround Corporation often did not claim Medicare reimbursement for power mobility devices (PMDs) in accordance with Medicare requirements. Medicare Part B covers PMDs, which include power wheelchairs and power-operated vehicles. High incidences of fraud and improper payments have been historically associated with PMDs. In 2010, Hoveround received almost $50 million for PMD claims, the second-largest Federal reimbursement for PMDs supplied to Medicare beneficiaries.
