Wahiawa General agreed to a $450,000 settlement last year for improperly billing the Medicare and Medicaid government health insurance programs and the militarys health care program known as TRICARE. Wahiawa General settled the case in August 2013, though it did not admit liability, and has repaid the government programs, as well as legal fees and related costs totaling $1 million, said Don Olden, the hospitals chief executive officer. Olden says Wahiawa General got thrown under the bus as the billing agent for UH faculty physicians who were responsible for documenting their supervision of the residents, but failed to do so.
