Heading: The Government and CHS' Settlement Agreement

Text: 14 The government 5 and CHS ultimately agreed on a settlement in which CHS would repay to the government Medicare overpayments in the amount of $30,904,625.56. The original version of the settlement agreement also specifically reserved and excluded from the scope and terms of this Agreement as to any entity or person (including the Released Parties) claims asserted in a qui tam action brought by another relator in the Middle District of Tennessee. (J.A. at 354-55.) Relator's qui tam suit was not referenced in the original version of the settlement agreement. On or about March 28, 2000, a revised version of the settlement agreement was circulated, including a substituted page 12, which included Relator's claim among the claims specifically excluded from the settlement agreement. All the parties then signed the revised settlement agreement. The settlement agreement's effective date was May 8, 2000. 15
