5 hours ago A South Dakota neurosurgeon has agreed to pay $4.4 million to settle a False Claims Act suit against him and his two medical device distributors, the Department of Justice (DOJ) announced in a Monday news release.
A 2016 qui tam action, brought by relators Carl Dustin Bechtold and Bryan Wellman in the District of South Dakota, alleged that Wilson Asfora, owner of Medical Designs LLC and Sicage LLC, used his companies to operate kickback schemes to enrich himself. The United States, which took over as plaintiff in 2019, claimed that Asfora’s companies paid him profit distributions for using Medical Designs’ and Sicage’s devices in his surgeries and, in distributions of other manufacturers’ medical devices, split the profits with Asfora when he employed those manufacturers’ devices in surgeries.
