Medical device maker disputes government claim that it defrauded Medicare

Texas company had contract with Oglala Sioux to provide diabetic care

A Texas company that signed a contract with the Oglala Sioux Tribe to provide diabetic care has been accused by the U.S. Attorney’s Office in South Dakota of defrauding Medicare.

The U.S. Attorney’s Office filed a federal False Claims Act lawsuit against NeuroSolutions 100 and CEO Michael Bingham this week, accusing the company of submitting 100 fraudulent claims worth $1.1 million billed to Medicare for a medical device that was not eligible for reimbursement under the federal program.

But Bingham, in an interview with The Dakota Scout, disputes the government’s accusations, saying he has already prevailed before five administrative law judges including one this month, opinions he provided to The Scout.
