PHOENIX — One of Arizona's largest cardiology groups has agreed to pay $4.75 million to resolve allegations of performing unnecessary treatments.
The United States Attorney's Office for the District of Arizona alleged that three physicians at Tri-City Cardiology PC performed vein ablations on perforator veins that were medically unnecessary between January 2017 and April 2022.
Perforator veins are small veins that connect between deep and surface veins in the legs.
Responding to Phoenix Business Journal's requests for comment, Tri-City issued a statement disagreeing with the department's allegations.
