Transplant Doctor Charged

Dr. John Stevenson Bynon Jr. has been charged with falsifying medical records. The charges allege that even though patients should have been able to receive donations, Bynon made false statements in their medical records, rendering patients functionally ineligible for a donation. Patients, their families, and other members of their medical care team were unaware of the false information, according to court documents. The indictment further alleges that due to Bynon’s unilateral decision-making and false statements, patients continued receiving health care benefits, items, and services that Medicare paid as if they were eligible to receive donor organ offers.
