David Podell was penalized in the United States of America dated April 06, 2020.

Podell previously owned and managed a clinic in Edgewater, New Jersey that performed viscosupplementation, among other procedures. Along with a business partner, he also promoted a business model to other chiropractors for running and marketing a clinic that specialized in the treatment of osteoarthritis through the administration of fluoroscopic-guided viscosupplementation injections and the provision of knee braces.
It was alleged that Podell caused his clinic and other Osteo Relief Institutes (ORI) to bill Medicare for viscosupplementation injections for patients who did not need them, to use multiple brands of Visco supplements successively on patients without clinical support, and to use discounted Visco supplements reimported from foreign countries. It was also alleged that Podell caused his clinic and the Oris to provide unnecessary custom knee braces to patients. Podell also solicited and received kickbacks from a manufacturer of knee braces in exchange for ordering more of the manufacturer’s braces for his clinic.
On April 06, 2020, Podell agreed to pay a resolution amount of USD 2 Million to resolve False Claims Act allegations against him.↵Important Dates:↵Resolution Agreement - April 06, 2020"
