Shockingly, compound drug fraudsters allegedly lied when they sold accounts receivable to investors.
Who’da thunk it?
Thanks to Greg Jones for his excellent investigative reporting on this; Greg reports today that:
Exhibits filed in the lawsuit by Shadow Tree Investment against Praxsyn Corp. reveals connections to three providers accused of accepting kickbacks from other compounding pharmacies. Praxsyn owns Mesa Pharmacy in Irvine, California.
Mesa was partnering with three providers who now face criminal charges for accepting kickbacks to prescribe compound drugs to injured workers.
The basis for the case appears to be Praxsyn allegedly didn’t tell Shadow Tree about pertinent details about the A/R deal…details such as the accusations about the source of the bills, the alleged nefarious activities of some of the parties involved, and relevant lien settlement information.
I was peripherally involved in something similar to this, when a compounding company was trying to sell its receivables a couple of potential buyers called me for my opinions.
Which, briefly summarized, were “run like hell.”
What does this mean for you?
That remains good advice for anyone approached by compounders, physician prescribing companies, and so-called “revenue cycle management firms” doing most of their work in these areas.
Hi, May I have the providers that this is in reference to?
Hi Jeana – there is a link in the post to the workcompcentral article.
