Michael Conroy Agreed to Be Excluded for 3 Years for Allegedly Submitting Claims for Unnecessary Genetic Tests and Genetic Tests Tainted by Kickbacks

On March 25, 2024, in connection with the resolution of his False Claims Act liability, Michael Conroy, Greenville, South Carolina, agreed to be excluded under 42 U.S.C. 1320a-7(b)(7) for three years. The investigation revealed and OIG alleged that Michael Conroy submitted or caused to be submitted claims for: (1) cancer genetic tests (CGX) laboratory services with knowledge that marketers, beneficiaries, telemedicine companies, and health care providers received inducements; and (2) medically unnecessary CGX laboratory testing because the tests were not used to diagnose or treat a medical condition and were not ordered by the beneficiaries’ treating physician. Senior Counsel Sarah Kessler represented OIG.
