United States Seventh Circuit
FAL-Meridian, Inc. v. US Dep't of Health & Human Serv., 09-3485
A nursing home's petition to set aside a final decision by the Department of Health and Human Services, that imposed a civil penalty of $7,100 for having violated a regulation under the Medicare and Medicaid provisions of the Social Security Act, is denied as the nursing home failed to tender evidence that would show that it had done everything possible to minimize the risk of an accident to the deceased resident.
