CEO and founder Kingsley Chin, MD, and CFO Aditya Humad were indicted on one count of conspiracy to violate the Anti-Kickback Statute, six counts of violations of the Anti-Kickback Statute and one count of conspiracy to commit money laundering.
Dr. Chin and Mr. Humad allegedly contracted with surgeons and agreed to pay them between $250 and $1,000 per hour for purported consulting with SpineFrontier. However, the surgeons were allegedly paid for using SpineFrontier’s products, and did little — if any — consulting.
The duo allegedly paid each surgeon between $32,625 and $978,000 in bribes.
SpineFrontier has previously faced scrutiny from the DOJ over kickback allegations, including an $8 million scheme that ran from 2013 to 2018. Read more about that case here.
