Alaska Neurology Center LLC and its owner, Franklin Ellenson, M.D., have agreed to pay $2 million and enter into a three-year Integrity Agreement to resolve allegations of submitting false claims to federal healthcare programs between 2013 to 2­018.  A whistleblower complaint revealed the defendants had engaged in a bevy of fraudulent billing schemes, including using false dates to bypass caps in reimbursement, billing for services provided by unqualified personnel, billing for non-reimbursable services, using multiple billing codes for procedures covered by a single code, using false names for providers, and resubmitting already rejected claims using false service or diagnosis information.  The whistleblower in this case will receive a relator’s share of $380,000.  USAO AK
