HIGH POINT, N.C. — A High Point dentist must pay up after submitting false claims to the state’s Medicaid program and providing unnecessary procedures, according to the North Carolina Attorney General’s Office.
The dentist, Dr. Stefan J. Simoncic with Triad Oral Surgery will have to pay $567,125 as part of the settlement. It’s the result of Operation Root Canal, an investigation by the NCDOJ’s Medicaid Investigations Division to stop fraud among dental providers.
