From 2019 to 2023, Dr. Arora, who provided care to nursing home residents, allegedly billed for critical care services when he was providing routine care, according to a Sept. 21 news release from the Justice Department. By billing for critical care while only providing routine care, he received extra payment, the report said.
Along with paying $1.3 million, Dr. Arora also entered an Integrity Agreement with the U.S. Department of Health and Human Service that imposes obligations to ensure he complies with Medicare rules moving forward.
