Kansas doctor’s license revoked in $16 million medical fraud schemes.

A Kansas surgeon had his license to practice medicine revoked Tuesday after defrauding the federal government of millions in cash over the course of several years.

The Kansas State Board of Healing Arts (KSBHA) issued a press release July 16 with their final order in the case of Gautam Jayaswal from the Overland Park area. The board overruled an objection from Jayaswal, upholding an order from earlier in the year to revoke his license to practice medicine and surgery in Kansas.

Jayaswal pleaded guilty on May 9, 2023 in the U.S. District Court of St. Louis after admitting he ordered millions of dollars worth of unnecessary and expensive genetic tests and orthotic braces for thousands of patients as part of a telemedicine fraud scheme, according to the Department of Justice (DOJ). For these crimes, Jayaswal faced a possible fine of up to 250,000, five years in prison or both.
