Physician, Wife, and Clinic Settle Medicare Billing Case over Neurostimulators

Acting United States Attorney Alexander C. Van Hook announced that Dr. Henry Goolsby, his wife and co-founder Patricia Lenae Goolsby, both of Lake Charles, Louisiana, and their medical clinic, Infinite Health Integrative Medical Center (Infinite Health), have agreed to pay $450,000 to resolve liability under the False Claims Act for the alleged improper billing of “P-Stim” devices. From November of 2018 through April of 2020, Dr. Goolsby, Mrs. Goolsby, and Infinite Health billed Medicare for implanted neurostimulators, that required a surgical procedure in which the physician places wires that deliver stimulation to the epidural space on the spinal cord. This procedure must be performed in a surgery center, but Dr. Goolsby did not perform surgery. Instead, these “P-Stim” devices were applied in his office to his patients’ ears.
