Jeffrey Tauth, MD, 60, treated patients at National Park Medical Center and Hot Springs Cardiology Associates, according to a Jan. 5 Justice Department news release. The department alleged that Dr. Tauth submitted false claims to Medicare between September 2013 and August 2019.
The settlement follows a November 2019 voluntary False Claims Act violation disclosure from Brentwood, Tenn.-based Lifepoint Health, which acquired National Park Medical Center and Hot Springs Cardiology Associates in 2018, according to the release. The entities in October 2020 agreed to pay nearly $14.9 million — including more than $9 million in restitution — as part of a settlement.
