The clinics allegedly engaged in an illegal kickback scheme by getting patients to undergo a procedure by sending them to surgery centers where copayments around facility fees were waived, according to the report.

In addition, both clinics also submitted improper claims for evaluation, management and psychological testing services, according to the report.

The settlement is not an admittance of guilt.
