A federal jury convicted a Pennsylvania man and woman for a scheme to pay and receive kickbacks in exchange for the referral of prescription medications. According to court documents and evidence presented at trial, Steven J. Valentino, 65, of Haverford, and Michele Miller, 53, of Swarthmore, a doctor and his office manager, respectively, participated in an incentivized prescribing scheme involving injured federal workers and Medicare beneficiaries. Valentino and Miller received kickbacks for referring, ordering, and arranging for medications — including expensive compound medications — to be filled by a Houston pharmacy. Between May 2013 and July 2017, the pharmacy billed the Department of Labor Office of Workers’ Compensation Program (DOL-OWCP) and Medicare approximately $2.5 million and was paid approximately $1.1 million for prescriptions referred, ordered, and arranged by Valentino and Miller in exchange for illegal healthcare kickbacks. Valentino and Miller were both convicted of conspiracy to pay and receive healthcare kickbacks and two counts of receiving healthcare kickbacks.
