A three-year-long kickback scheme effectuated by a hospital executive and seven doctors will net the DOJ a $1.1 million settlement and their continued cooperation in the investigation of and litigation against other parties. The Stark Law and Anti-Kickback Statute violations occurred over a three-year period, wherein management service organizations (MSOs) paid volume-based commissions kickbacks for ordering laboratory tests from Rockdale Hospital d/b/a Little River Healthcare, True Health Diagnostics LLC, and Boston Heart Diagnostics Corporation. Jaspaul Bhangoo, M.D., Robert Megna, D.O., Baxter Montgomery, M.D., Murtaza Mussaji, D.O., David Sneed, D.O., Kevin Lewis, D.O., and Angela Mosley-Nunnery, M.D. will all contribute to the settlement. Additionally, Richard Defoore, former CEO of Jones County Regional Healthcare d/b/a Stamford Memorial Hospital, also agreed to pay into the settlement fund for his contribution to the scheme.
