Florida Pharmacist Sentenced to Two Years in Prison for Compounding Mail Order Fraud and Kickbacks

Adam Brosius of Florida was sentenced to 24 months in prison for his role in a $33 million health care fraud and kickback scheme.

According to documents filed in this case and statements made in court:

From 2014 through 2016, Brosius and others used Main Avenue Pharmacy, a mail-order pharmacy with a storefront in Clifton, New Jersey, to run an illegal kickback scheme involving medically unnecessary compounded drugs including scar creams, pain creams, migraine mediation, and vitamins. Brosius worked as Main Avenue’s director of business development, and later as its president.

As part of the scheme, Main Avenue identified compounded drugs with high reimbursements, including both federal and commercial payers. Once Main Avenue identified these formulas, it would create large prescription pads with those formulas on it and distribute the pads to marketers across the country. The marketing companies would in turn distribute the prescription pad to telemedicine companies and doctors with whom they had a financial arrangement.

After filling prescriptions, Main Avenue submitted claims to health care benefit programs for reimbursement, including Medicare, Tricare, and commercial payers in New Jersey and elsewhere. After Main Avenue obtained reimbursement, it paid kickbacks to marketers who had generated the prescriptions. Main Avenue signed contracts with many of the marketers, which detailed the illicit kickback arrangement, which called for Main Avenue to pay each marketer money based on the volume of referrals of compounded prescriptions and the reimbursement amount that Main Avenue received. Main Avenue received approximately $33 million in reimbursements for compounded medications alone from health care benefit programs. Over $5.8 million of that amount was paid by TRICARE, a federal payer. 

In addition to the prison term, the judge also ordered $33 million in restitution, $27 million in forfeiture, and a term of supervised release.
