Georgia pain management physician Dr. Anthony Clavo agreed to the entry of a consent judgment for $430,000 to resolve allegations he violated the False Claims Act by billing Medicare, Medicaid, and TRICARE for medically unnecessary services. The allegations originated in a whistleblower lawsuit filed by Herretta Pickens and Teresa Williams, former employees of Dr. Clavo, under the qui tam provisions of the False Claims Act.
