Planned Parenthood agreed to pay $4.3 million to settle a federal civil suit claiming that it fraudulently billed Medicaid for women's health services provided by some of its Texas clinics from 2993 to 2009.

Planned Parenthood called the suit baseless.

The state last year barred Planned Parenthood and other organizations that are affiliated with abortion providers from receiving funds from a government program that subsidizes health services for uninsured, low-income women.Texas also enacted a law this summer restricitng abortions and imposing new medical requirements on abortion providers that Planned Parenthood said will have an adverse effect on its operations.

Planned Parenthood announced last month that it would have to close three of its clinics in Texas.
