H. Lee Moffitt Cancer Center and Research Institute Hospital, a prominent nonprofit cancer treatment and research center based in Tampa, agreed to pay $19.6 million to resolve its civil liability in a case that involved billing for services outside federal rules governing reimbursement. 

The agreement was announced in a Thursday statement from the U.S. Justice Department's Middle District of Florida office in Tampa. 

Federal officials say improper claims were submitted to federal health care programs for certain patient care items and services provided during research studies that were not eligible for reimbursement.
