Broward doctor was paid $477,000 for 140 days work at pill mill
A Coral Springs doctor admitted in court Thursday that he wrote excessive
prescriptions in exchange for cash at a Deerfield Beach pill mill.
Dr. Charles Neuringer, 73, has agreed to forfeit close to $477,000 he was
paid in fees and bonuses for the 140 days he worked at the now closed Coast
to Coast Healthcare Management Clinic on the 300 block of Hillsboro
Boulevard, prosecutors said.
Neuringer's job at the clinic involved "little more than writing
prescriptions" and the operator of the clinic told him to prescribe levels
of pain medications at levels that were "high enough to keep patients happy
and low enough to avoid scrutiny" from authorities, federal prosecutors said.
Records show the doctor saw 5,669 patients during his brief time at the
clinic, with an average of more than 40 patients per day though he saw 70
clients on a few occasions, prosecutors said. Undercover agents said he
failed to do adequate examinations and wrote prescriptions for pain pill and
anti-anxiety medicines for them based on "nebulous" physical complaints.
He received a flat fee of $75 per patient plus a bonus of 5 per cent, later
raised to 10 percent, of profits from prescriptions that were written and
filled at the clinic between January and December of 2010.
