An East Setauket doctor pleaded guilty in federal court in Boston on Nov. 14 for receiving kickbacks in exchange for ordering medically unnecessary brain scans.
Dr. Kenneth Fishberger, 75, pleaded guilty to one count of conspiracy to commit health care fraud. Judge Nathaniel M. Gorton scheduled sentencing for Feb. 25, 2025.
Dr. Kenneth Fishberger
Fishberger, an internist, was a licensed medical doctor in the State of New York for approximately 47 years and had an office at 200 Belle Terre Rd, Suite 110 in Port Jefferson
From approximately June 2013 through December 2019, Fishberger conspired with others, including a principal for a mobile medical diagnostics company that performed transcranial doppler (TCD) scans, and a salesperson for the company, to order hundreds of medically unnecessary TCD scans in exchange for kickbacks.
TCD scans are brain scans that measure blood flow in parts of the brain. Fishberger and his co-conspirators used false diagnoses to order the unnecessary brain scans, for which a co-conspirator would submit claims to Medicare and other insurance companies, including private insurance companies, on behalf of the medical diagnostic company for payment. In exchange, Fishberger was paid cash kickbacks of approximately $100 per test. According to the charging documents, the scheme resulted in fraudulent bills of approximately $891,978 to Medicare and private insurance companies.
The charge of conspiracy to commit health care fraud provides for a sentence of up to 10 years in prison, three years of supervised release and a fine of up to $250,000. Sentences are imposed by a federal district court judge based upon the U.S. Sentencing Guidelines and statutes which govern the determination of a sentence in a criminal case.
