Dr. Anderson filed tax returns that understated his taxable income, leading to a loss of $143,599 to the Internal Revenue Service, according to an Aug. 26 news release from the Justice Department. 

Dr. Anderson is responsible for paying back the balance, plus penalties and interest. He faces up to three years in federal prison. 

A judge will determine his sentence, taking sentencing guidelines and other factors into consideration, the release said.

At the Becker’s 32nd Annual Meeting: The Business and Operations of ASCs, taking place October 29-31 in Chicago, ASC leaders, surgeons and healthcare executives will explore strategies to drive growth, enhance operational performance, navigate reimbursement challenges and prepare for the future of ambulatory surgery.
