On May 15, 2017, Dr. Haroutyoun Margossian (Dr. Margossian), a New York physician specializing in female urinary incontinence, agreed to be excluded from participation in all Federal health care programs for a period of seven years under 42 U.S.C. § 1320a-7(b)(7). OIG's investigation revealed that Dr. Margossian knowingly presented or caused to be presented claims to Medicare and Medicaid relating to the treatment of patients suffering from urinary incontinence that he should have known were not provided as claimed or were false or fraudulent. Specifically, OIG contended Dr. Margossian failed to: (1) employ licensed individuals to perform the urodynamic and pelvic floor therapy (PFT) services; and (2) properly supervise the individuals performing the urodynamic and PFT services. Senior Counsel David Blank and Associate Counsel Jennifer Leonardis represented OIG.
