Orthopedic specialists in Oklahoma have agreed to pay $670,000 to settle allegations in a False Claims Act qui tam that they falsely billed Medicare, Medicaid, and Tricare for unnecessary ultrasonic guidance procedures and for services that were not performed.  The settlement resolved two claims in the whistleblower action, brought by a former employee, in which the government had intervened prior to settlement; other claims continue to be litigated.  USAO WDOK
