The Western Michigan District Court has sentenced **Roger D. Beyer** to 57 months in federal prison for his involvement in a conspiracy to commit healthcare fraud and 12 months concurrently for the adulteration of medical devices. Beyer previously owned and operated Urological Solutions of Michigan, a mobile medical practice providing urological services to patients in their homes and assisted living facilities.

During the fraud investigation, investigators discovered that the firm reused a single-user rectal pressure sensor on multiple patients, covering the device with the finger of a surgical glove, the [government contends](https://www.justice.gov/usao-wdmi/pr/2020%5F1029%5FBeyer%5FWright?ref=fdaweb.com). Staff also reused a single-use anorectal manometry catheter on multiple patients as part of an initial diagnostic study in patients with potential fecal incontinence, covering the device with a condom. “The reuse of these medical devices was in contravention with the devices’ instructions for use and inconsistent with the device clearances by FDA,” it says.

The court also found that Beyer engaged about $883,000 in false claims paid by Medicare.
