Newfoundland Auditor-General’s audit says there was potential fraud in travel nurse company’s billings

There were “strong indications of potential billing fraud” by a travel nurse company retained by Newfoundland and Labrador to provide temporary health care staff, an audit released Wednesday said.The findings are in a report by the province’s Auditor-General, Denise Hanrahan, who has been investigating contracts between private vendors and the health sector.The company is only identified in the report as “Agency A” but details about it match those of Canadian Health Labs, a Toronto-based staffing company. Newfoundland and Labrador paid CHL a total of $73-million for two nursing contracts.
