On
January 23, 2018, Drs. Aytac Apaydin and Stephen Worsham, urologists based in
Northern California, agreed to a civil compromise with no admission of
liability in which they will pay $1.085 million to resolve allegations that
they submitted and caused the submission of false claims to Medicare for image
guided radiation therapy (IGRT).
The
factual background according to the Department of Justice is that Drs. Apaydin
and Worsham own and operate Salinas Valley Urology Associates (SVUA) in
Salinas, California. They also owned Advance Radiation Oncology Center
(AROC), located in Salinas, California, which dissolved in 2016.
