Health your username 5 hours ago Magistrate Judge Andrew Rodovich of the Northern District of Indiana on Wednesday denied a motion to dismiss a case against a physician and the Centers for Pain Control Inc. (CPC), finding that the relator’s claims hold up to the required pleading standard. Physician Dion Snider filed a qui tam action in May 2018 alleging that the defendants were operating a fraudulent billing and kickback scheme, in violation of the FCA, the Indiana False Claims and Whistleblower Protection Act, and the federal anti-kickback statute. Snider claimed that CPC promised — and gave out — free massage therapy sessions to Medicare and Medicaid patients who purchased trigger point therapy and failed to bill the federal health programs for the massage therapy sessions.
