Apple Transportation settles with New York for $300K

ALBANY, N.Y. (Legal Newsline) – Apple Transportation of New York, Inc., reached a $300,000 settlement with state Attorney General Eric Schneiderman on Monday over allegations that it billed Medicaid for transportation services that weren’t actually provided.

In New York, Medicaid recipients can receive transportation to and from medical appointments. A transportation company then can bill Medicaid for ambulette service if personal assistance is provided, or livery service if no personal assistance is required. Ambulette service costs more than livery service.
