Massachusetts Public Health Department plans to revoke licenses for RegalCare facilities

The Massachusetts Department of Public Health issued a notice stating it intends to revoke long-term care facility licenses for several RegalCare facilities in Holyoke and Greenfield. The department cited concerns over substandard care and Mirlis' alleged misrepresentation of his licensure status, as well as billing Medicare and MassHealth for medically unreasonable services.

The revocation of licenses and findings of substandard care directly impacts the operational capacity of the affected long-term care facilities. The allegations of billing Medicare and MassHealth for unnecessary services raise concerns regarding healthcare fraud and public funding integrity.
