A Kendall radiology center and its doctors settled a five-year Medicare fraud case by agreeing to pay over $810,000. Dr. Oscar Sosa and Dr. Osmany DeAngelo, named in the allegations, can deny wrongdoing despite the settlement. This case originated from a whistleblower, Dr. Emilio Lopez, who assisted in revealing the fraud, allowing him to collect a portion of the settlement. While both doctors lack disciplinary histories, they have faced malpractice claims, raising concerns about their medical practices during the time frame of the alleged fraud.
The settlement, reaching over $810,000, resolves allegations of Medicare fraud against a Kendall radiology center and its associated physicians.
The two doctors involved in the case, Dr. Oscar Sosa and Dr. Osmany DeAngelo, will continue denying the charges related to unnecessary procedures.
Dr. Emilio Lopez, the whistleblower, is entitled to $186,369 from the settlement under the False Claims Act, reflecting the legal repercussions of fraud.
While both doctors have faced malpractice claims, neither has any professional discipline against their medical licenses in Florida.
