1. Denver neurosurgeon Brent Kimball, MD, is among three people and a neuromonitoring business resolving kickback allegations for more than $2 million total, according to the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the District of Colorado.

2. SpineFrontier had all kickback charges dropped by the United States Attorney for the District of Massachusetts. The moves came shortly after SpineFrontier’s money laundering charges were dropped. The company’s founder, Kingsley Chin, MD, also settled with the U.S. Department of Justice in July over allegations that he violated the False Claims Act. Charges against Dr. Chin and Aditya Humad, co-founder of KIC Ventures, were narrowed.

At the Becker's 23rd Annual Spine, Orthopedic and Pain Management-Driven ASC + The Future of Spine Conference, taking place June 11-13 in Chicago, spine surgeons, orthopedic leaders and ASC executives will come together to explore minimally invasive techniques, ASC growth strategies and innovations shaping the future of outpatient spine care.
