The registrant admitted professional misconduct arising from several years of improper insurance billing, falsified treatment notes and receipts, and failures to keep required records.
The Tribunal applied the joint-submission standard and accepted a jointly proposed penalty, finding it would not bring the administration of justice into disrepute and was not contrary to the public interest.
In doing so, it emphasized public protection, deterrence, rehabilitation, and denunciation, and compared the proposed disposition to prior discipline decisions involving false receipts and deficient record keeping.
The Tribunal imposed a reprimand, an eight-month suspension, specified educational and compliance conditions, and costs.
