John Nedza, MD, was convicted of 18 counts of obtaining a controlled substance by deceit or subterfuge.
Dr. Nedza, who was contracted at an Oklahoma City hospital, diverted substances including fentanyl, ketamine, dilaudid and midazolam by falsely claiming the drugs were for patient surgeries.
According to the report, the surgeries were not scheduled for or done by Dr. Nedza, and on at least six occasions, claimed to have disposed of the substances but kept them for personal use.
At the Becker’s 32nd Annual Meeting: The Business and Operations of ASCs, taking place October 29-31 in Chicago, ASC leaders, surgeons and healthcare executives will explore strategies to drive growth, enhance operational performance, navigate reimbursement challenges and prepare for the future of ambulatory surgery.
