Dr. Feliciano Serrano and Serrano Kidney & Vascular Access Center have agreed to pay more than $6.7 million to resolve allegations that they violated the False Claims Act by submitting false claims for medically unnecessary vascular interventional procedures on 20 Medicare beneficiaries. For example, although patients complained of pain only in one leg, he performed procedures on both legs and then repeated them every few months. He told patients that if they did not receive the procedures, their legs would need to be amputated when, in fact, there was little risk of amputation for mildly symptomatic peripheral artery disease.
