A former New York based sales director for the Northeast region of a mobile medical diagnostics company was sentenced in federal court in Boston for conspiring to offer and pay kickbacks to doctors in exchange for ordering medically unnecessary brain scans. David Fuhrmann, 60, of Point Jefferson Station, New York, was sentenced to three years in prison, to be followed by one year of supervised release. The defendant was also ordered to pay $27,225,434.44 in restitution, to forfeit $1,102,725.96, and to pay a $30,000 fine. From June 2013 through at least September 2020, Fuhrmann conspired with others, including two managers for a mobile medical diagnostics company that performed transcranial doppler (TCD) scans, to enter into kickback agreements with various doctors. Fuhrmann and his co-conspirators agreed to offer and pay doctors kickbacks, some in cash and others by check, based on the number of TCD ultrasounds the doctors ordered. The scheme resulted in fraudulent bills of approximately $70.6 million to Medicare. Medicare paid approximately $27.2 million to the TCD company for the fraudulent claims.
