Description: Baton Rouge, Louisiana health care fraud charge criminal defense lawyer represented Defendant, Gray Wesley Barrow, M.D., 61, of Baton Rouge, who was charged with conspiracy to pay and receive health care kickbacks on Nov. 20, 2018.

Barrow was a co-owner of Louisiana Spine & Sports LLC, a pain management clinic located in Baton Rouge. Barrow agreed to send urine specimens collected from his patients to a drug testing laboratory in return for an unlawful kickback calculated as a percentage of the reimbursements paid to the laboratory by Medicare and other health care benefit programs.

From approximately January 2014 through July 2016, Barrow sent specimens collected from his patients to the laboratory and received approximately $1.58 million in disbursements from the laboratory. Of that $1.58 million, approximately $336,000 represented kickback payments associated with testing performed on specimens of Medicare beneficiaries, which the court ordered Barrow to forfeit as part of today’s sentence. Additionally, Barrow was ordered to pay $336,000 in restitution.

HHS-OIG and the FBI investigated the case.

Assistant Chief Dustin M. Davis and Trial Attorney Justin M. Woodard of the Criminal Division’s Fraud Section and Assistant U.S. Attorney Elizabeth E. White of the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Middle District of Louisiana prosecuted the case.
