Dr. Adam B. Smith, also known as Adam Bryant, has agreed to pay almost $200,000 to resolve allegations that he billed government health insurance programs for medically unnecessary procedures and for procedures more complicated than those he performed. To obtain federal payment for procedures that would not otherwise be covered, the government alleged Smith claimed he performed complicated hernia repair or tissue transfer procedures when he actually performed body contouring, tummy tucks, and cosmetic procedures to remove excess skin and fat. The complaint also contended that Smith submitted claims for more expensive wound repair procedures and office visits by claiming the wounds he repaired were larger, the procedures he performed were more complex, and the office visits were more thorough than they actually were.
