Michael A. Rosin, a former dermatologist in Sarasota, Florida, will pay $11 million to resolve allegations of Medicare fraud.
The whistleblowers who originated the False Claims Act suit accused Rosin of performing unnecessary surgeries on hundreds of patients, according to the Sarasota Herald Tribune.
Among the allegations was one that the doctor once made a cancer diagnosis over a piece of chewing gum that had been placed on a slide after a patient’s biopsy was lost.
