The United States Attorney's Office for the District of Kansas announced Roger W. Evans, MD, and his company, EECP Heart Center of Kansas, have agreed to pay $1.5 million to the United States to settle allegations of submitting false claims to Medicare.
Dr. Evans operated clinics and provided enhanced counterpulsation therapy, an inpatient service for the treatment of coronary artery disease. The United States alleged that from July 2005 to June 2009, Dr. Evans submitted claims to Medicare for services when he was not present at the clinics. In addition, the government alleged he did not directly supervise the procedures for which he submitted claims — a requirement of Medicare.
Dr. Evans and his company did not admit any wrongdoing.
