GOVERNMENT ACTIONS against Roy G. Heilbron, M.D.
Roy G. Heilbron, M.D., who has practiced cardiology in New Mexico and Florida, has been disciplined by both states. In March 2014, as shown below, the New Mexico Medical Board indicated that it intended to discipline him for failing to notify the board within 30 days that (a) he had been arrested for driving under the influence of alcohol and (b) Blue Cross Blue Shield had terminated his provider agreement for "excessive, unjustified and fraudulent billing practices." The matter was settled in June 2014 with a stipulated order under which his license was suspended for three months and he was required to complete courses in ethics and recordkeeping. In June 2015, after Heilbron failed to notify the Florida Medical Board on time, the Florida board issued a letter of concern and assessed a $5,000 fine plus $1,234 in costs. In July 2015, he was charged with health care fraud and wire fraud that involved submitting false and fraudulent claims to Medicare, Blue Cross Blue Shield, and other health insurers in 2010 and 2011. The indictment charges that he:
Performed and billed for a wide array of unnecessary tests on every new patient and submitted false diagnoses with the billing claims to justify the tests to the insurance plans
Inserted false symptoms, observations, and diagnoses into patients' medical charts to provide written support for the tests he ordered or performed
Inserted photocopied clinical notes, diagnostic test results, and ultrasound images in patients' medical charts to create a written record of procedures that were either not performed or that had not been sufficiently documented to support the billing
Submitted the photocopied notes, results, and images to the insurance plans when the plans requested documentation to support the claims submitted
Submitted claims to health plans for procedures that were never performed
Submitted claims for procedures performed on two consecutive dates to increase the amount paid for services that were actually rendered together on one single date
Misused billing codes and modifiers in order to increase his rate of reimbursement
Heilbron has co-chaired the chelation therapy workshops for the American College for Advancement in Medicine (ACAM), the primary organization that advocates the use of chelation for cardiovascular disease and other questionable purposes.
