A Phoenix cardiology practice and three doctors settle for $4.75 million over claims they performed unnecessary vein procedures and falsified records to bill federal health programs from 2017 to 2022.
A Phoenix-area cardiology practice, Tri-City Cardiology, and three physicians have agreed to pay $4.75 million to settle federal allegations they performed unnecessary vein ablation procedures and falsified records to justify billing Medicare, Medicaid, TRICARE, and VA programs from 2017 to 2022.
The U.S. Department of Justice accused them of violating the False Claims Act by manipulating patient data to make treatments appear medically necessary.
The settlement resolves the case without admission of guilt, with funds going to federal and state recovery efforts.
The practice denies the allegations and maintains it followed medical standards at the time.
