Foot doctor fraud afoot, state says
ALBANY – A Hempstead health care provider whose foot doctors were accused of prescribing drugs for schizophrenia and other conditions unrelated to feet has been barred from the state’s Medicaid system after overbilling by $1.3 million, state Controller Alan Hevesi said yesterday.
The controller’s audit found four podiatrists working for the company Signature Health Center had violated state law by prescribing 164 drugs used to treat acid reflux, high cholesterol, depression, erectile dysfunction, schizophrenia, sleep disorders and other ailments.
