Texas doctors
Robert Wills and
Brannon Frank, who previously operated Austin Pain Associates, will pay
$3.9 million to resolve allegations that they billed federal and state healthcare programs for medically unnecessary urine drug tests that were performed at Austin Pain Associates’ in-house lab. The investigation was initiated after a whistleblower complaint was filed by former Austin Pain Associates employees
Jennifer Nuessner and
Robert Hoffman; they will receive approximately
$618,000 from the federal share of the settlements.
