Medical Malpractice Investigation of Dr. Bethany Cataldi

Investigating Claims By Former Patients of Dr. Bethany A. Cataldi

CohenMalad, LLP is speaking with former patients of Dr. Cataldi who may have been victims of medical malpractice, healthcare fraud or other injustices.

Our firm's medical malpractice attorneys are investigating potential claims related to Dr. Bethany A. Cataldi, a Highland, Indiana physician who earlier this year was sentenced to 97 months in federal prison after pleading guilty to healthcare fraud. According to the U.S. Department of Justice, Dr. Cataldi billed Medicare and private insurers for thousands of balloon sinuplasty procedures that she did not perform.

Dr. Cataldi was the sole owner of the Center for Otolaryngology and Facial Plastic Surgery in Highland, Indiana. Federal prosecutors said she sought approximately $50 million for non-existent procedures and was paid nearly $20 million. The DOJ also reported that approximately $460,000 in fraudulently obtained funds came directly from individual patients through co-insurance payments.
