Denise M. Ware of Reed Smith, LLP, announced today that a Deferred
Prosecution Agreement has been entered between Dr. Patel and the
United States Attorneys' Office -- effectively ending his
criminal prosecution more than two years after charges were brought
against him. On August 31, 2011, Dr. Patel was indicted along

health care fraud. According to the indictment, Mattson, Paul, and
Dr. Patel billed millions to private health care insurance
companies by ordering medically unnecessary tests and billing for
services not rendered. Today, the United States
Attorneys' Office filed a Deferred Prosecution Agreement
suspending all further criminal proceedings against Dr. Patel and
effectively ending the
prosecution. The Agreement was agreed to and entered by federal
district court judge Ronald A.
Guzman.
