The state of Connecticut has filed a False Claims Act lawsuit against a Fairfield dentist alleging that he billed the state’s Medicaid program for services never performed.
Dr. Aram Agadjanian, also known as Aram Yuri Agadzanov, primarily saw indigent and elderly Medicaid patients who were residents at assisted-living facilities in Connecticut, according to Attorney General George Jepsen and state Department of Social Services (DSS) Commissioner Roderick L. Bremby.
The state’s complaint alleges that from April 2014 to April 2015, Agadjanian billed the state’s Medicaid program more than $900,000 for dental services allegedly provided to Connecticut Medical Assistance Program (CMAP) recipients, but never performed.
The state alleges Agadjanian billed for services including multi-surface tooth restorations, and for repairs to dentures and for sets of dentures never provided to his patients.
The state further alleges that Agadjanian submitted claims for conflicting dental procedures that could not have been provided to his patients, such as claims for services performed on partial dentures for the same teeth for which cavities were purportedly filled and billed.
DSS, the administering agency for CMAP, has terminated Dr. Agadjanian’s provider agreement.
