A doctor in South Carolina has agreed to pay $92,506.30 to settle allegations of accepting illegal payments from OK Compounding, LLC, in exchange for prescribing their pain creams to TRICARE patients.  The False Claims Act violations allegedly occurred between February and May 2013, and involved “medical director fees” paid to Dr. Jerry Back that were in reality, kickbacks.  This was the eighth kickback settlement in the Northern District of Oklahoma since the beginning of the year.  USAO NDOK
