(aka Spectocor), its owner Joseph Bogdan, Medi-Lynx Cardiac Monitoring LLC, and Medicalgorithmics SA, the current majority owner of Medi-Lynx, agreed to pay roughly $13.5 million to resolve allegations they violated the False Claims Act by billing Medicare for higher and more expensive levels of cardiac monitoring services than requested by the ordering physicians.  The allegations originated in a whistleblower lawsuit filed under the qui tam provisions of the False Claims Act by former Spectocor sales manager Eben Steele.  He will receive a whistleblower award of roughly $2.4 million from the proceeds of the government’s recovery.  DOJ
