A federal lawsuit says the New Life Treatment Center billed insurer Moda up to $9,000 a day per Alaska patient, some of whom received what Moda calls 'substandard care' for months.

Health insurance company Moda is suing a California addiction treatment center, claiming the center falsified Alaska patients’ income in a scheme to overbill Moda by $3.3 million.

According to the lawsuit, the patients’ income was actually lower than what they claimed on the forms, and the patients should’ve been enrolled in free, public health insurance, like Medicaid, rather than with Moda, one of two private insurers in Alaska’s insurance marketplace.
