John Davis, 43, of Franklin, Tenn., former CEO of Comprehensive Pain Specialists, was convicted in April 2019 of one count of conspiracy to defraud the U.S. and violate the Anti-Kickback Statute and seven counts of violating the Anti-Kickback Statute. He was sentenced to 42 months in prison in July 2020, but his sentence was commuted in January by then-President Donald Trump.
The settlement resolves the civil case, which arose from a whistleblower action filed in 2016. The lawsuit alleged Mr. Davis, Brentwood, Tenn.-based Comprehensive Pain Specialists and other CPS executives submitted false claims for medically unnecessary testing and acupuncture.
