The Mitchell Eye Center, a Florida ophthalmology practice, and Dr. Alan Mitchell, an ophthalmologist and former owner of the Mitchell Eye Center, have agreed to pay $415,000 to resolve allegations that they caused the submission of false claims to Medicare in violation of the False Claims Act. The United States alleges that from September 2018 through March 2020, Mitchell Eye Center and Dr. Mitchell caused the submission of false claims for transcranial doppler (TCD) tests to Medicare and the Veterans Health Administration. The United States contends that the claims for the TCD tests that Mitchell Eye Center and Dr. Mitchell caused Eyecuity to submit to Medicare were false because the TCD tests were not medically necessary and because the Mitchell Eye Center received payments from Eyecuity that violated the Anti-Kickback Statute.
