A doctor in Ramsey, New Jersey, has agreed to pay nearly $700,000 to resolve allegations that he and his practice violated the False Claims Act, US Attorney Philip R. Sellinger announced. Arun Sehgal and his medical practice, Preventive & Diagnostic Medical Center P.A., have agreed to pay $693,490 plus interest to resolve allegations that they violated the False Claims Act by upcoding physician services, billing for more services than they could possibly provide in one day, and billing for services that Sehgal never provided. Sehgal is the former medical director at the New Jersey Veterans Memorial Home in Paramus, New Jersey. The settlement announced today resolves three sets of allegations from Jan. 1, 2017, to June 1, 2022.
