The U.S. Justice Department announced on Wednesday a Tampa area pain management clinic and physician are ordered to pay $600,000 in civil penalties after alleged illegal opioid distribution.
A clinic in New Port Richey, Florida has been ordered by a federal court to shut down its business after being accused of prescribing opioids to patients illegally.
Dr. Tobias Bacaner was known in New Port Richey for prescribing opioids.
At the cash-only clinic along U.S. 19 where he worked, Bacaner routinely prescribed patients painkillers, tranquilizers and muscle relaxers. Many patients would then fill those prescriptions at a nearby pharmacy he owned, according to a federal civil lawsuit filed February. That suit, filed by the U.S. Department of Justice, claims that Bacaner, who has been a licensed physician in Florida since 1990, may be responsible for as many as 16 drug overdose deaths.
Bacaner prescribed Oxycodone more than any other controlled substance, often at the highest strength possible of 30 milligrams, according to the lawsuit. A national prescription database published by ProPublica shows that while Oxycodone was Bacanerâs most prescribed drug, for his peers it was on average their 59th most prescribed drug.
