The Massachusetts Attorney General’s Office (AGO) announced that it has reached a settlement agreement with Dr. Ali Tural and his company Tural Pediatrics, Inc., to resolve allegations that Dr. Tural submitted false claims for services he purportedly provided to MassHealth members, that were actually provided by midlevel practitioners such as physician assistants and certified nurse practitioners. Under the terms of the agreement, Dr. Tural and his company will pay $175,000 and agree to a three-year independent compliance monitoring program at his expense. The monitoring program will result in updated policies and procedures, annual training on federal and state laws, rules, and regulations governing physicians and group practice organizations, and annual audits, where the results will be reported to the AGO.
