Medicare Fraud Settlement

Squire was the owner of Forest Hospital in Des Plaines, Illinois in 1996 when the psychiatric hospital was accused by two former employees of Medicare fraud. The employees said that elderly residents of area nursing homes and assisted-living facilities were bused to a psychiatric program run by Squire's company in Elgin [Illinois]. There, they would play games or sleep for five or six hours, and were provided little, if any, psychiatric medical care.[5]

Forest Hospital paid $4 million to settle the civil Medicare fraud case, the payment was made when the hospital was sold in 1997.[6]
