Billing, Improper; Unprofessional Conduct12/1/20181/28/2022CompletedReprimand, Suspension, Fine, Conditions, CostsDr. Colistro was found guilty of one charge of unprofessional conduct by the Discipline Hearing Committee, as well as one component of a second charge. The Committee found that he had submitted excessive billings to the Medical Services Branch in relation to services performed, specifically relating to the use of billing codes 20W and 50W, and that he failed to exercise due diligence to ensure billings were submitted accurately and appropriately. The Committee also found that he failed to ensure the diagnostic imaging clinic of which he was Medical Director had a policy in place to ensure inspection of equipment every 6 months. The penalty order included a reprimand, a two-month suspension, a course in ethics/professionalism, the MSB online billing course, a fine of $15,000, and the payment of costs in the amount of $70,559.17. Dr. Colistro has appealed the Discipline Hearing Committee decision and the Council’s penalty decision to the Court of Queen’s Bench. With the exception of the two courses, the penalty has been stayed pending the determination of the appeal.Charges
