Clarification

Last month we reported South Florida Pediatric Homecare, or SFPH,  had settled a Medicaid billing dispute with Florida's Agency For Health Care Administration. We want to make clear that neither SFPH nor its owner, Broward Vice Mayor Barbara Sharief, has been investigated for or charged with fraud, a crime or any other wrongdoing, and that we did not intend to create the impression they had been.  The file video used in our story was of an FBI raid on a different facility, did not involve Ms. Sharief or SFPH, and was not intended to refer to them.  As we reported in our story, SFPH settled its billing dispute with the state and as part of the settlement neither Ms. Sharief nor her company admitted any wrongdoing or error.  We regret any misimpression our story may have caused.
