OIG alleged that Anderson and PMC caused pharmacies to submit requests for payment to Part D Plan Sponsors and TennCare for medications, including controlled substances that were not dispensed for a legitimate medical purpose and/or that were dispensed without obtaining valid prescriptions under Tennessee law. OIG also alleged that Anderson and PMC submitted, or caused the submission of claims to Medicare that were : (1) coded with CPT code 99214 and modifier -25 when those claims were not payable as such; and (2) provided by a nurse practitioner who was not collaborating with a physician as required by Tennessee law. Senior Counsel Andrea Treese Berlin represented OIG.
