The settlement resolves claims that St. Peter’s submitted false claims for payments to federal health care programs, including Medicare, Medicaid, and TRICARE, related to services performed and referred by Dr. Weiner.

The government alleged that between 2015 and 2020, St. Peter’s submitted claims based on Dr. Weiner’s documentation and certification that were determined to be false, including office visits coded at a higher level of service than what was performed.

Additionally, Dr. Weiner is accused of improper prescribing of controlled substances and ordering medically unnecessary treatments while serving as the chief medical oncologist at St. Peter’s Cancer Treatment Center.
