Oklahoma Pain Management Practice and Physicians Settle Case Involving Kickback and Stark Allegations
On December 21, 2018, Tulsa Pain Consultants, Inc., Martin Martucci, M.D., and Andreas Revelis, M.D. (collectively, "TPC"), Tulsa, Oklahoma, entered into a $98,942.50 settlement agreement with OIG. The settlement agreement resolves allegations that TPC received remuneration from Millennium Health, LLC f/k/a Millennium Laboratories, Inc. (Millennium), in the form of point of care test cups which resulted in prohibited referrals. OIG further alleged that the referrals were prohibited because the remuneration created a financial relationship and TPC caused Millennium to present claims for designated health services that resulted from the prohibited referrals. Senior Counsels Andrea Treese Berlin and Geoffrey Hymans represented OIG.
