Reginald Fullwood Jr., 59, paid kickbacks to a marketer in exchange for completed physicians’ order so that he could cause his company, Jackson Medical Supply, to bill the federal programs for orthotic braces that were medically unnecessary or ineligible for reimbursement, according to a Jan. 24 Justice Department news release.
When Medicare opened an investigation into Jackson Medical Supply, Mr. Fullwood opened another company under the name of a nominee owner and again paid kickbacks to a marketer in exchange for physicians’ orders.
Mr. Fullwood’s companies billed Medicare and Medicare Advantage more than $12.4 million in fraudulent claims and received more than $6.4 million.
