James Aronovitz, DO, and his practice agreed to pay more than $2 million to resolve allegations they charged Medicare and Medicaid programs for services purportedly provided by a physician, but were rendered by physician assistants.
Dr. Aronovitz did not properly supervise these PA services, which were provided in nursing facilities and home health settings, the Justice Department said in a May 8 news release.
Of the $2 million provided by Dr. Aronovitz and Farmington Hills-based Michigan Ear Care, the state of Michigan will receive nearly $66,000 of the settlement
