From November 2018 and April 2020, they allegedly billed Medicare for implanted neurostimulators, which require surgical implantation in an ASC, according to a March 6 news release from the Justice Department. 

However, instead of performing surgery, Dr. Goolsby applied P-Stim devices — a non-surgical, electric acupuncture device — to patients’ ears in his office. 

At the Becker's 23rd Annual Spine, Orthopedic and Pain Management-Driven ASC + The Future of Spine Conference, taking place June 11-13 in Chicago, spine surgeons, orthopedic leaders and ASC executives will come together to explore minimally invasive techniques, ASC growth strategies and innovations shaping the future of outpatient spine care.
