Jaime Robledo, MD, is accused of fraudulently billing Medicare for a series of neurostimulator electrode implantation procedures between Nov. 1, 2018, and March 31, 2019. He allegedly did not perform those procedures, but instead used a device for electro-acupuncture. Medicare does not reimburse for electro-acupuncture as an implantable neurostimulator.
Although Dr. Robledo settled, no determination of liability was made.
Dr. Robledo founded Advanced Interventional Pain Consultants in Katy, where he continues to practice.
