The Peninsula Regional Medical Center has agreed to a $2.9 million settlement in the wake of allegations that the facility broke Medicare rules.
The U.S. Justice Department announcement said that PRMC was just one of 457 hospitals in 43 states as part of a $250 million settlement.
The Salisbury Daily Times reports that the case involved implanting cardioverter defibrillators that shock the heart to bring it back to a normal rhythm.
PRMC issued a statement saying that it still stood by its medical decisions that resulted in the implantation of the devices.
Other regional institutions include Medstar Health of Maryland and Christiana Care of Delaware.
