From March 2019 to September 2019, Dr. Toh worked with telemedicine companies to obtain access to Medicare and Medicaid patients and submitted more than $9.5 million in fraudulent claims for cancer genetic tests, according to a Sept. 5 news release from the Justice Department.
Dr. Toh, who is licensed in several states and operated as a consulting provider for telemedicine companies, signed the orders without regard to medical necessity, and he was not the treating physician of the patients.
He was indicted by a federal grand jury in December and convicted of conspiracy to violate the federal Anti-Kickback Statute after a two-week trial.
