On February 28, 2018, The Pain Institute, Inc. d/b/a Space Coast Pain Institute, Stanley Golovac, M.D. and Richard Gayles, M.D. (collectively, "Space Coast"), Merritt Island, Florida, entered into a $95,302.50 settlement agreement with OIG. As a result of its investigation, OIG alleged that Space Coast received improper remuneration from Millennium Health, LLC f/k/a Millennium Laboratories, Inc. (Millennium), in the form of point of care test cups which resulted in prohibited referrals. OIG further alleged that the referrals were prohibited because the remuneration created a financial relationship and that Space Coast caused Millennium to present claims for designated health services that resulted from the prohibited referrals. Senior Counsels Andrea Treese Berlin and Geoffrey Hymans represented OIG.
