◆ Dr. Craig M. Morgan and Eye Consultants of Huntington Inc., have paid $907,074.64 to settle false claims allegations they billed Medicare and Medicaid for medically unnecessary ophthalmological injections, the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Southern District of West Virginia said Sept. 6.^[1] “From January 13, 2013 through April 12, 2019, Morgan routinely administered vascular endothelial growth factor inhibitor injections into the eyes of patients to treat purported wet age-related macular degeneration (Wet-AMD) or other ophthalmological conditions for which treatment with such injections is indicated,” the U.S. attorney’s office said. “These injections were not medically necessary because the patients in question did not have treatable Wet-AMD or any other condition that would have warranted the invasive treatment at the time it was administered.” The HHS Office of Inspector General flagged Morgan as one of the top outliers for Medicare billing across all specialties in West Virginia. “The vast majority of payments Morgan received from Medicare were for injections for purported treatment of Wet-AMD,” the U.S. attorney’s office said.
