Josef Schenker, MD, and two urgent care facilities owned by him were accused of billing Medicare for services not provided when administering COVID-19 vaccines and tests.
Prosecutors allege that from July 2020 to December 2021, Dr. Schenker used CPT codes that indicated he conducted mid-level and high-level patient evaluations, when he provided only a COVID-19 vaccine or test.
