John Greager, MD, operator of Cancer Therapy Associates in Lombard, settled allegations he violated the False Claims Act by performing multiple mole removal procedures on patients on a single date but submitted claims to Medicare and the Federal Employees Health Benefits Program to appear as though the procedures had been performed on multiple dates, according to a July 21 Justice Department news release.
In June, Dr. Greager was sentenced to six months in prison and fined $1 million for submitting fraudulent claims to Medicare and Blue Cross Blue Shield of Illinois. That criminal case also involved the submission of fraudulent claims regarding mole removals.
