Medical group ordered to pay $8M for Medicare fraud to lay off employees, close locations

A San Antonio medical group ordered to pay $8.1 million in damages in a Medicare billing fraud case last year has reported to state regulators that it will lay off 30 workers and close two of its largest locations.

But in its letter to the Texas Workforce Commission, Peripheral Vascular Associates (PVA) seems to indicate that the entire medical group, which according to its LinkedIn page employs more than 250 people in multiple locations across South Texas, is at risk of shuttering.

“Peripheral Vascular Associates is undergoing business difficulties that likely will result in the need to wind down the business, resulting in the end of all of its employees’ employment with PVA,” states the Oct. 25 letter.
