The United States government has lodged a False Claims Act complaint against the Clarksville Pain Institute, LLC, the Pain Institute of Nashville, PLC, and individuals Michael and Debbie Cox, as reported by the U.S. Department of Justice. The intervention, announced by Acting U.S. Attorney Thomas J. Jaworski for the Middle District of Tennessee, includes additional common law claims of unjust enrichment and payment by mistake. The Department of Justice detailed that since at least 2014, the defendants have purportedly submitted false claims for unnecessary diagnostic testing services such as urine drug screens, allergy tests, and psychological tests.
