Additional business information
The following describes a pending government action that has been formally brought by a government agency but has not yet been resolved. We are providing a summary of the government's allegations, which have not yet been proven.
On January 28, 2022, the U.S. Attorney for the Eastern District of Michigan unsealed an indictment that charged Dr. John Kirkpatrick and one co-defendant. The indictment alleges from May 2018 to March 2021, Dr. John Kirkpatrick conspired to issue a significant number of prescription opioids outside the scope of medical practice.
As alleged in the indictment, the doctor operated Southfield Medical Services by accepting only cash payments and utilizing the clinic to prescribe oxycodone and oxymorphone, two of the most addictive and diverted opioids that have a significant street value. Dr. Kirkpatrick required certain records in a patient file before he would write a prescription. His co-defendant and others created fraudulent medical records to give the appearance of legitimacy.
The indictment further alleges Dr. Kirkpatrick authorized electronic prescriptions for controlled substances issued under his DEA license without a medical evaluation by him. During the conspiracy, Dr. Kirkpatrick prescribed more then 574,604 dosage units of Schedule II controlled substances with a conservative street value of $17 million.
The matter is pending. Please see the Department of Justice press release here.
