OMAHA, Neb. (AP) —Good Samaritan Hospital in Kearney has been included in a settlement with more than 450 hospitals over inappropriate use of a heart device.

The Omaha World-Herald reports that Good Samaritan was named in the settlement, which totals more than $250 million.

Other hospitals included in the lawsuit are Creighton University Medical Center in Omaha, Nebraska Heart Institute & Heart Hospital and St. Elizabeth Regional Medical Center, both in Lincoln

The four Nebraska hospitals currently are owned by CHI Health, but Tenet Healthcare owned Creighton University Medical Center during the period in question.  The CHI hospital in Garden City is not included in the settlement.

The U.S. Department of Justice alleges that from 2003 to 2010 each of 457 hospitals in 43 states implanted the devices during periods in the patients’ care that are prohibited by federal regulations.
