SETTLEMENT AGREEMENT

This Settlement Agreement (“Agreement”) is entered into among the United States
of America, acting through the United States Department of Justice and on behalf
of the Office of Inspector General (“OIG-HHS”) of the Department of Health and
Human Services (“HHS”), the TRICARE Management Activity (“TMA”), through its
general counsel, and the Office of Personnel Management (“OPM”) (collectively
the "United States"), LHC Group, Inc. (hereafter referred to as “LHC”), and Judy
Master (hereafter collectively referred to as "the Parties"), through their
authorized representatives.
 
RECITALS
 
A.           LHC is one of the largest national providers of home health and
hospice services, and is thus a recipient of Medicare, TRICARE, Federal
Employees Health Benefits Program (FEHBP) and other government reimbursements.
 
B.           On June 3, 2007, Judy Master filed her  qui tam Complaint  in the
United States District Court for the Western District of Louisiana captioned
United States ex rel. Master v. LHC Group, Inc., Civil Action No. 07-1117 (Under
Seal), pursuant to the qui tam provisions of the False Claims Act, 31 U.S.C. §
3730(b) (“the Civil Action”).  Relator alleged, among the allegations identified
in the Civil Action, that LHC violated the False Claims Act by (1) billing for
services without a valid plan of care, (2) resequencing and upcoding ICD-9-CM
diagnosis codes, (3) billing for services not rendered or not supported by the
required documentation, (4) billing for services without physician orders, or
for more services than ordered by the physician, (5) billing for services that
were not medically necessary, and (6) billing for services rendered to patients
who were not homebound.
 
 
 

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 
C.           The United States contends that LHC submitted or caused to be
submitted claims for payment to the Medicare Program (Medicare), Title XVIII of
the Social Security Act, 42 U.S.C. §§ 1395-1395kkk-1, the TRICARE Program, 10
U.S.C. §§ 1071-1110a, and the FEHBP, 5 U.S.C. §§ 8901-8914.
 
D.         The United States contends that it has certain civil claims against
LHC for submitting or causing to be submitted claims for payment to Medicare,
TRICARE and FEHBP during the period January 1, 2006 through December 31, 2008
for home health services by the facilities on Attachment A that were not
reimbursable because: (1) the services were not medically necessary, and/or (2)
the patients were not homebound.  This conduct is referred to below as the
Covered Conduct.
 
E.           This Settlement Agreement is neither an admission of liability by
LHC nor a concession by the United States that its claims are not
well-founded.  LHC denies the allegations in the Civil Action, including the
Covered Conduct, as defined herein.
 
F.           Relator claims entitlement under 31 U.S.C. § 3730(d) to a share of
the proceeds of this Settlement Agreement and to Relator’s reasonable expenses,
attorneys’ fees and costs.
 
G.           To avoid the delay, uncertainty, inconvenience, and expense of
protracted litigation of the above claims, and in consideration of the mutual
promises and obligations of this Settlement Agreement, the Parties agree and
covenant as follows:
 
TERMS AND CONDITIONS
 
1.           LHC shall pay to the United States sixty-five million dollars ($65
million) (Settlement Amount), plus interest on the Settlement Amount at a rate

2

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 
the Civil Division of the United States Department of Justice no later than
seven days after the Effective Date of this Agreement.
 
2.           Contingent upon the United States receiving the Settlement Amount

the United States releases LHC, together with its current and former parent
corporations, its direct and indirect subsidiaries, divisions, current or former
owners, and officers, administrators, employees, agents, directors, and
affiliates, as well as any successors and assigns, from any civil or
administrative monetary claim the United States has for the Covered Conduct
under the False Claims Act, 31 U.S.C. §§ 3729-3733; the Civil Monetary Penalties
Law, 42 U.S.C. § 1320a-7a(b)(7); the Program Fraud Civil Remedies Act, 31 U.S.C.
§§ 3801-3812; or the common law theories of payment by mistake, unjust

may have on behalf of the United States for the Covered Conduct under the False
Claims Act, 31 U.S.C. §§ 3729-3733.
 
6.           In consideration of the obligations of LHC in this Agreement and
the Corporate Integrity Agreement (CIA), entered into between OIG-HHS and
LHC, conditioned upon LHC’s full payment of the Settlement Amount, the OIG-HHS

1320a-7(b)(7) (permissive exclusion for fraud, kickbacks, and other prohibited
activities) for the Covered Conduct, except as reserved in Paragraph 9
(concerning excluded claims), below, and as reserved in this Paragraph. The
OIG-HHS expressly reserves all rights to comply with any statutory obligations
to exclude LHC from Medicare, Medicaid, and other Federal health care programs
under 42 U.S.C. § 1320a-7(a) (mandatory exclusion) based upon the Covered
Conduct.  Nothing in this Paragraph precludes the OIG-HHS from taking action
against entities or persons, or for conduct and practices, for which claims have
been reserved in Paragraph 9, below.
 
7.           In consideration of the obligations of LHC set forth in this
Agreement, conditioned upon LHC’s full payment of the Settlement Amount, TMA
agrees to release and refrain from instituting, directing, or maintaining any
administrative action seeking exclusion from the TRICARE Program against LHC
under 32 C.F.R. § 199.9 for the Covered Conduct, except as reserved in Paragraph
9 (concerning excluded claims), below, and as reserved in this Paragraph.  TMA
expressly reserves authority to exclude LHC from the TRICARE Program under 32
C.F.R. §§ 199.9 (f)(1)(i)(A), (f)(1)(i)(B), and (f)(1)(iii), based upon the
Covered
 
 
4

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 
Conduct.  Nothing in this Paragraph precludes TMA or the TRICARE Program from
taking action against entities or persons, or for conduct and practices, for
which claims have been reserved in Paragraph 9, below.
 
8.           In consideration of the obligations of LHC in this Agreement, and
conditioned upon LHC’s full payment of the Settlement Amount, OPM agrees to
release and refrain from instituting, directing, or maintaining any
administrative action against LHC under 5 U.S.C. § 8902a or 5 C.F.R. Part 919
for the Covered Conduct, except as reserved in Paragraph 9 (concerning excluded
claims), below and except if excluded by the OIG-HHS pursuant to 42 U.S.C. §
1320a-7(a).  Nothing in this Paragraph precludes OPM from taking action against
entities or persons, or for conduct and practices, for which claims have been
reserved in Paragraph 9, below.
 
9.           Notwithstanding the releases given in paragraphs 4 through 8,
inclusive, of this Agreement, or any other term of this Agreement, the following
claims of the United States are specifically reserved and are not released:
 
 
a.
Any liability arising under Title 26, U.S. Code (Internal Revenue Code);

 
b.
Any criminal liability;

 
c.
Except as explicitly stated in this Agreement, any administrative liability,
including mandatory exclusion from Federal health care programs;

 
d.
Any liability to the United States (or its agencies) for any conduct other than
the Covered Conduct,, including for: (i)claims submitted before January 1, 2006
or after December 31, 2008; and (ii) claims submitted at any time for services
by facilities not listed in Attachment  A.

 
 
5

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 
 
e.
Any liability based upon obligations created by this Agreement;

 
f.
Any liability for express or implied warranty claims or other claims for
defective or deficient products or services, including quality of goods and
services;

 
g. 
Any liability for failure to deliver goods or services due;

 
h.
Any liability for personal injury or property damage or for other consequential
damages arising from the Covered Conduct;

 
10.           Relator and her heirs, successors, attorneys, agents, and assigns
shall not object to this Agreement but agree and confirm that this Agreement is
fair, adequate, and reasonable under all the circumstances, pursuant to 31
U.S.C. § 3730(c)(2)(B).  Conditioned upon Relator’s receipt of the payment
described in Paragraph 2, Relator and her heirs, successors, attorneys, agents,
and assigns fully and finally release, waive, and forever discharge the United
States, its agencies, officers, agents, employees, and servants, from any claims
arising from the filing of claims for the Covered Conduct in the Civil Action or
under 31 U.S.C. § 3730, and from any claims to a share of the proceeds of this
Agreement.   Nothing in this Agreement shall limit Relator’s recovery related to
the claims as to which the United States has declined to intervene and neither
this Agreement, nor any intervention by the United States in the Civil Action in
order to dismiss claims in the Civil Action, shall waive or otherwise affect the
ability of the United States to contend that the provisions of the False Claims
Act, including 31 U.S.C. § 3730(d)(3) and § 3730(e ), bar Relator from sharing
in other proceeds of the Civil Action.
 
11.           Conditioned upon LHC’s full payment of the Settlement Amount and
the amount specified in Paragraph 3 above, Relator, for herself, and for her
heirs, successors, attorneys,
 
 
6

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 
agents, and assigns, releases LHC, and its direct and indirect subsidiaries,
officers, administrators, agents, and employees, from any liability to Relator
arising from the filing of the Civil Action for the Covered Conduct, but
reserves the right to pursue matters in the Civil Action that are not included
in the Covered Conduct.
 
12.           LHC waives and shall not assert any defenses LHC may have to any
criminal prosecution or administrative action relating to the Covered Conduct
that may be based in whole or in part on a contention that, under the Double
Jeopardy Clause in the Fifth Amendment of the Constitution, or under the
Excessive Fines Clause in the Eighth Amendment of the Constitution, this
Agreement bars a remedy sought in such criminal prosecution or administrative
action.  Nothing in this paragraph or any other provision of this Agreement
constitutes an agreement by the United States concerning the characterization of
the Settlement Amount for purposes of the Internal Revenue laws, Title 26 of the
United States Code.
 
13.           LHC fully and finally releases the United States, its agencies,
officers, agents, employees, and servants, from any claims (including attorneys’
fees, costs, and expenses of every kind and however denominated) that LHC has
asserted, could have asserted, or may assert in the future against the United
States, its agencies, officers, agents, employees, and servants, related to the
Covered Conduct and the United States’ investigation and prosecution thereof.\
 
14.           The Settlement Amount shall not be decreased as a result of the
denial of claims for payment now being withheld from payment by any Medicare
carrier or intermediary, TRICARE, or FEHBP carrier or payer, or any state payer,
related to the Covered Conduct; and LHC agrees not to resubmit to any Medicare
carrier or intermediary, TRICARE or FEHBP
 
 
7

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 
carrier or payer or any state payer any previously denied claims related to the
Covered Conduct, and agrees not to appeal any such denials of claims.
 
15.           LHC agrees to the following:
 
a.         Unallowable Costs Defined: All costs (as defined in the Federal
Acquisition Regulation, 48 C.F.R. § 31.205-47; and in Titles XVIII and XIX of
the Social Security Act, 42 U.S.C. §§ 1395-1395kkk-1 and 1396-1396w-5; and the
regulations and official program directives promulgated thereunder) incurred by
or on behalf of LHC, its present or former officers, directors, employees,
shareholders, and agents in connection with:
 

 
(1) 
the matters covered by this Agreement;

 
(2)
the United States’ audit(s) and civil investigation(s) of the matters covered by
this Agreement;

 
(3) 
LHC’s investigation, defense, and corrective actions undertaken in response to
the United States’ audit(s) and civil investigation(s) in connection with the
matters covered by this Agreement (including attorneys’ fees);

 
(4) 
the negotiation and performance of this Agreement;

 
(5)
the payment LHC makes to the United States pursuant to this Agreement and any
payments that LHC may make to Relator, including costs and attorneys’ fees; and

 
(6) 
the negotiation of, and obligations undertaken pursuant to the CIA, to:

 
 
8

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 
 
(i)
retain an independent review organization to perform annual reviews as described
in Section III of the CIA; and

 
(ii)
prepare and submit reports to the OIG-HHS, are unallowable costs for government
contracting purposes and under the Medicare Program, Medicaid Program, TRICARE
Program, and FEHBP (hereinafter referred to as Unallowable Costs).  However,
nothing in this paragraph 15.a.(6) that may apply to the obligations undertaken
pursuant to the CIA affects the status of costs that are not allowable based on
any other authority applicable to LHC.

 
b.           Future Treatment of Unallowable Costs:  Unallowable Costs shall be
separately determined and accounted for by LHC, and LHC shall not charge such
Unallowable Costs directly or indirectly to any contracts with the United
States, or seek payment for such Unallowable Costs through any cost report, cost
statement, information statement, or payment request submitted by LHC or any of
its subsidiaries or affiliates to the Medicare, TRICARE, or FEHBP Programs.
 
c.           Treatment of Unallowable Costs Previously Submitted for Payment:
 LHC further agrees that within 90 days of the Effective Date of this Agreement
it shall identify to applicable Medicare and TRICARE fiscal intermediaries,
carriers, and/or contractors, and FEHBP fiscal agents, any Unallowable Costs (as
defined in this Paragraph) included in payments previously sought from the
United States, or any State Medicaid program, including, but not limited to,
payments sought in any cost reports, cost statements, information reports, or
payment requests already submitted by LHC or any of its subsidiaries or
affiliates, and shall request, and
 
 
9

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 
agree, that such cost reports, cost statements, information reports, or payment
requests, even if already settled, be adjusted to account for the effect of the
inclusion of the unallowable costs.  LHC agrees that the United States, at a
minimum, shall be entitled to recoup from LHC any overpayment plus applicable
interest and penalties as a result of the inclusion of such Unallowable Costs on
previously-submitted cost reports, information reports, cost statements, or
requests for payment.
 
Any payments due after the adjustments have been made shall be paid to the
United States pursuant to the direction of the Department of Justice and/or the
affected agencies.  The United States reserves its rights to disagree with any
calculations submitted by LHC or any of its subsidiaries or affiliates on the
effect of inclusion of Unallowable Costs (as defined in this Paragraph) on LHC
or any of its subsidiaries or affiliates’ cost reports, cost statements, or
information reports.
 
d.         Nothing in this Agreement shall constitute a waiver of the rights of
the United States to audit, examine, or re-examine LHC’s books and records to
determine that no Unallowable Costs have been claimed in accordance with the
provisions of this Paragraph.
 
16.       LHC agrees to cooperate fully and truthfully with the United States’
investigation of individuals and entities not released in this Agreement.  Upon
reasonable notice, LHC shall encourage, and agrees not to impair, the
cooperation of its directors, officers, and employees, and shall use its best
efforts to make available, and encourage, the cooperation of former directors,
officers, and employees for interviews and testimony, consistent with the rights
and privileges of such individuals.  LHC further agrees to furnish to the United
States, upon request, complete and unredacted copies of all non-privileged
documents, reports, memoranda of interviews, and
 
 
10

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 
records in its possession, custody, or control concerning any investigation of
the Covered Conduct that it has undertaken, or that has been performed by
another on its behalf, except that which has been created at the direction of
legal counsel. LHC shall not and does not waive its attorney-client privilege or
work-product doctrine protections.
 
17.           This Agreement is intended to be for the benefit of the Parties
only.  The Parties do not release any claims against any other person or entity,
except to the extent provided for in Paragraph 18 (waiver for beneficiaries
paragraph), below.
 
18.           LHC agrees that it waives and shall not seek payment for any of
the health care billings covered by this Agreement from any health care
beneficiaries or their parents, sponsors, legally responsible individuals, or
third party payors based upon the claims defined as Covered Conduct.
 
19.           Upon receipt of the payments described in Paragraphs 1 and 2,
above, the United States and Relator shall promptly sign and file in the Civil
Action a Joint Stipulation of Dismissal pursuant to Rule 41(a)(1) of the claims
for the Covered Conduct with prejudice as to the United States and the Relator.
 
20.           Each Party shall bear its own legal and other costs incurred in
connection with this matter, including the preparation and performance of this
Agreement.
 
21.           Each party and signatory to this Agreement represents that it
freely and voluntarily enters in to this Agreement without any degree of duress
or compulsion.
 
22.           This Agreement is governed by the laws of the United States.  The
exclusive jurisdiction and venue for any dispute relating to this Agreement is
the United States District Court for the Western District of Louisiana.  For
purposes of construing this Agreement, this
 
 
11

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 
Agreement shall be deemed to have been drafted by all Parties to this Agreement
and shall not, therefore, be construed against any Party for that reason in any
subsequent dispute.
 
23.           This Agreement constitutes the complete agreement between the
Parties.  This Agreement may not be amended except by written consent of the
Parties.
 
24.           The undersigned counsel represent and warrant that they are fully
authorized to execute this Agreement on behalf of the persons and entities
indicated below.
 
25.           This Agreement may be executed in counterparts, each of which
constitutes an original and all of which constitute one and the same Agreement.
 
26.           This Agreement is binding on LHC’s successors, transferees, heirs,
and assigns.
 
27.           This Agreement is binding on Relator’s successors, transferees,
heirs, and assigns.
 
28.           All parties consent to the United States’ disclosure of this
Agreement, and information about this Agreement, to the public.
 
29.           This Agreement is effective on the date of signature of the last
signatory to the Agreement (Effective Date of this Agreement).  Facsimiles of
signatures shall constitute acceptable, binding signatures for purposes of this
Agreement.
