LOS ANGELES—A Beverly Hills plastic surgeon, his son, medical practices and billing company have agreed to pay $23.9 million to resolve allegations that they violated federal law by submitting or causing the submission of false claims to both Medicare and Medicaid, officials announced April 28.
The settlement resolves allegations that Dr. Joel Aronowitz, Daniel Aronowitz, and other entities falsified the place of service for skin grafts and billed multiple times for single-use skin substitute products, according to the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ).
