A self-employed medical sales representative will pay $100,000 to settle allegations that he assisted in causing the submission of false claims. A Justice Department [statement](https://www.justice.gov/usao-sdtx/pr/cypress-medical-sales-representative-agrees-settle-allegations-regarding?ref=fdaweb.com) says **Matthew Thibaut**, from Cyprus, who sold products through his Flex Surgical Management company, sold DyAnsys electro-acupuncture devices from 1/1/17 to 12/21/19.

The department says his customers falsely billed Medicare for the surgical implantation of neurostimulator electrodes. The statement says these are invasive procedures usually requiring the use of an operating room for which Medicare pays thousands of dollars. “Thibaut allegedly knew his customers would bill Medicare in this fashion and, therefore, assisted in causing the submission of false claims,” according to the allegations.
