• A Georgia doctor and his urology practice agreed to pay $14 million.
• Federal allegations said the group billed for unnecessary or never-performed procedures.
• Prosecutors claimed the practice used invasive tests and unneeded surgeries to boost revenue.

A Georgia medical doctor and his urology practice have agreed to pay $14 million to resolve allegations of systemic healthcare fraud. The settlement addresses claims that the group billed federal programs for procedures that were either medically unnecessary or never performed.

Prosecutors alleged that the organization was designed to maximize revenue by conducting invasive tests on almost every new patient. These practices reportedly included performing unnecessary surgeries and ordering thousands of unneeded ultrasounds at the taxpayer’s expense.

“Physicians commit fraud when they seek payment for medically unnecessary procedures or bill for services they never performed,” stated U.S. Attorney Theodore S. Hertzberg.

This massive settlement highlights the ongoing struggle to protect constitutional governance from the drain of administrative waste and corruption. When private entities exploit government systems, they prioritize corporate profit over the ethical treatment of citizens and the preservation of limited public resources.

The Constitution must be defended.
