Select Rehabilitation Lawsuits

1. McLaughlin et al. v. Select Rehabilitation, LLC: Program managers and therapists allege Select Rehabilitation illegally misclassified them as exempt from overtime, leading to denied compensation. They seek back pay, penalties, and an injunction to ensure future compliance with overtime laws. This ongoing class action lawsuit could have significant financial implications for Select Rehabilitation if the plaintiffs prevail.

2. United States ex rel. Rose v. Select Rehab.: Whistleblower Rose claims Select Rehabilitation inflated therapy services to maximize Medicare and Medicaid reimbursement regardless of patient needs, potentially violating the False Claims Act. If the government succeeds, Rose may receive a financial reward, and Select Rehabilitation could face substantial financial penalties.

3. United States v. Select Rehab., Civil Action 19-3277: The U.S. government accuses Select Rehabilitation, in collaboration with partnered skilled nursing facilities, of a systemic scheme to defraud Medicare and Medicaid through unnecessary therapy billing practices. This suit seeks financial penalties and damages to the healthcare programs, potentially impacting both Select Rehabilitation and its partner facilities.

4. United States ex rel. Carson v. Select Rehabilitation, Inc.: This earlier case set the “first-to-file rule” for similar whistleblower claims against Select Rehabilitation, preventing multiple lawsuits based on the same information. While not directly relevant to the current lawsuits, it established legal precedent for subsequent claims.
