Thomas Armbruster, a West Pasco, Florida obstetrician, will pay $577,000 to settle charges that he billed Medicaid for birthing services that were performed by nurse midwives. In addition to representing that he had actually provided the services, Armbruster allegedly billed Medicaid for higher levels of service than the patients actually received.
The Tampa Tribune reported on the settlement on October 13, 2004.
