A Kentucky doctor admitted to ordering more than $14 million of unneeded equipment and tests.
According to a press release, 55-year-old Amr Mohamed pleaded guilty in federal court Tuesday to one charge of conspiring to violate federal anti-kickback law.
Mohamed worked at the University of Kentucky when he was indicted on March 2, 2023.
According to his plea agreement, while performing telemedicine services for a company called RediDoc L.L.C., Mohamed took kickbacks from RediDoc to order medical equipment, creams and genetic testing for Medicare beneficiaries even though the equipment and services were not medically necessary.
Mohamed ordered medically unnecessary equipment, creams, or tests for more than 7,000 people between March 2018 and April 2019, which resulted in more than $14.1 million in billing to Medicare.
