Kentucky-based Ultimate Care Medical Services, LLC, doing business as Ultimate Treatment Center, and its principal, Dr. Rose O. Uradu, have agreed to pay $1.4 million to resolve allegations that they submitted false claims to Mediare and Kentucky’s Medicaid program for services that were not provided.  Defendants billed for “evaluation & management” services when patients visited the clinic to receive methadone, visits which did not include a medical examination, which is required to bill for evaluation &  management.  In addition, defendants billed for complex urine drug testing when they lacked the equipment to perform such testing, and issued buprenorphine prescriptions at an rate greater than authorized.  USAO ED KY
