TriWest Healthcare Alliance, a Phoenix, Arizona corporation, has agreed to pay the United States $179,700,000 to resolve claims that it received overpayments from the VA in connection with its administration of certain VA health care programs. TriWest administers government health care programs, to include certain portions of the VA Patient-Centered Community Care Program (PC3) and the VA’s former Veterans Choice Program (Choice). Both programs have enabled veterans to obtain medical care from providers in their communities. As an administrator of these programs, TriWest is paid by the VA to coordinate medical appointments and make payments to health care providers.
