The fraud was in that they didn't. It was electroacupuncture.

Chiropractor charged with falsely billing for procedure learned via YouTube

A 46-year-old local chiropractor and her medical group have been named in a civil suit under the False Claims Act alleging fraudulent billing

www.justice.gov

"The civil complaint, filed today, alleges An fraudulently obtained over $3.9 million from the Medicare and TRICARE programs by billing for the implantation of neurostimulator electrodes. These are surgical procedures usually requiring use of an operating room, and Medicare pays thousands of dollars for this procedure, according to the complaint.

The complaint alleges that neither An nor her clinic’s employees performed surgery. Instead, they allegedly applied inexpensive devices used for electro-acupuncture. This procedure involves inserting needles into patients’ ears with a neurostimulator taped behind the ears with an adhesive, according to the complaint.

The lawsuit alleges nurse practitioners working for An learned how to apply the devices by watching YouTube videos and participating in trainings with sales representatives. "
