podiatrist has paid 200-thousand dollars to settle claims that he fraudulently billed

PROVIDENCE, R.I.- A Rhode Island podiatrist has paid 200-thousand dollars to settle claims that he fraudulently billed Medicare for services he didn't provide and treatments he misrepresented.

Under the terms of the settlement, Gaetano Calise is also permanently barred from participating in all federal health care programs, including Medicare and Medicaid. He has offices in Providence and Johnston.

According to federal prosecutors, Calise reached the settlement with the federal government to avert a lawsuit under the False Claims Act and other federal statutes. The government contends Calis made false claims about services to nursing home patients.
