Prosecutors alleged that the practice filed claims for medically unnecessary nuclear stress tests, as well as Cystatin-C laboratory tests, which detect kidney dysfunction and are only reimbursed in a small subset of patients. Prosecutors said the alleged improper billing for nuclear stress tests occurred between February 2012 and November 2019, and the improper billing for Cystatin-C laboratory tests took place from August 2013 to November 2019.
The allegations arose from two separate whistleblower lawsuits, one by a former physician assistant and another by a former clinical manager.
