Three of the doctors are from the Dallas-Fort Worth area.
Fifteen Texas doctors have agreed to settle False Claims Act allegations and pay more than $2.8 million in fines., involve illegal kickbacks in violation of the Anti-Kickback Statute and Stark Law. The Anti-Kickback Statute prohibits offering, paying, soliciting or receiving money to induce referrals of items or services covered by Medicare, Medicaid and other federally funded programs.
“These settlements should reinforce the message that the Eastern District of Texas will not tolerate health care providers who seek to enrich themselves through kickback schemes,” said U.S. Attorney Brit Featherston of the Eastern District of Texas. “We will continue to work with our agency partners to identify those who defraud our taxpayers, and we will hold those who have engaged in the schemes responsible.
The Department of Justice alleged that the doctors were receiving thousands of dollars from nine management service organizations in exchange for ordering laboratory tests from Rockdale Hospital Little River Healthcare, True Health Diagnostics LLC and/or Boston Heart Diagnostics Corp.
