HOUSTON — A physician alleges he was frauduently sold a medical device and falsely told it was reimbursable by Medicare and private insurance.
Jamie Robledo, M.D., P.A., filed a complaint Oct. 19 in Harris County District Court against Dyansys Inc., Pioneer Pain Solutions and IOS Consultants Inc., alleging fraud, negligent misrepresentation and unjust enrichment and other claims.
According to Robledo's complaint, DyAnsys manufactures and sells a "auricular device neurostimulation device" which attaches to a patient's ear to treat pain which is marketed by Pioneer. Robledo claims that the defendants frauduently marketed the device as "Medicare and private insurance reimbursable."
He alleges the defendants knew the device was not reimbursable and that due to their negligent misrepresentations, he purchased the device and properly submitted the claims to Medicare and Aetna with a code given to him by the defendants. Robledo claims he was notified by the U.S. Attorney's Office for the Southern District of Texas that the claim and billing was improper which caused him to settle for more than $100,000.
Robledo seeks monetary relief, interest and all other just relief. He is represented by Attorney Michael Burg in Katy.
