IPC The Hospitalist Group operates practice groups in Jacksonville, Ocala, Southwest Florida, Tampa, Broward County, Palm Beach County, Miami-Dade County and Orlando.
According to the lawsuit, the company repeatedly pressured its doctors to submit bills that would bring in more revenue than warranted, the Naples Daily News reports (paywall alert).
