Medsurant Holdings, LLC, the nation’s largest independent provider of Interoperative Neuromonitoring (IONM) services, has agreed to pay $1.9 million to settle allegations of defrauding Medicare.  According to the DOJ, from 2013 to 2016, Medsurant billed Medicare for IONM services—used to monitor patients’ nervous systems during high-risk surgeries—that were not provided exclusively to one patient or were concurrently provided to patients insured by private payors, in violation of Medicare rules as well as the False Claims Act.  USAO MDTN
