The U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Southern District of California announced on October 11 that Dr. Janette Gray and her former medical practice, The Center for Health & Wellbeing in San Diego, resolved False Claims Act (FCA) allegations by agreeing to pay $3.8 million.
Gray and her practice allegedly billed Medicare and TRICARE from 2012 to 2022 for services not covered under either program by misrepresenting the services provided, disguising the rendering provider, billing for medically unnecessary services, or unbundling services (i.e., billing for a procedure or service in parts rather than under a single code).
As part of the settlement, Gray will be excluded from participating in Medicare, Medicaid, and other federal healthcare programs for five years.
