The indictment alleges that Lee Adam Balaklaw, MD, intentionally or wantonly submitted fraudulent or false claims to Medicaid by claiming he treated multiple patients using pain treatment injections — called trigger point injections — into the tendon, according to the report.
The charges allege that from Jan. 2007-July 2010, Dr. Balaklaw fraudulently billed $90,000 for the 29 patients. A warrant has been issued for his arrest, and his bond will be set at $5,000 cash.
