DR. Malcolm Brigden

Retraction and Apology By CHCAA

Posted in: General on 12/24/2008

On December 9, 2008, we posted a blog item that Dr. Malcolm Brigden recently settled allegations of fraudulently overcharging US Medicare-Medicaid and that Dr. Brigden is forbidden to bill Medicare for his services ever again. The posting was inaccurate and the CHCAA apologizes unreservedly to Dr. Brigden for publishing untrue information about him. There were never any allegations of fraud nor were there any charges against Dr. Brigden by US prosecutors. There was a billing dispute regarding potentially improper hospital coding, which was resolved by a no fault negotiated settlement with the Department of Health and Social Services. Moreover, Brigden was a fully salaried individual for his entire tenure of practice in the United States. Dr. Brigden was not forbidden to bill Medicare for his services. Rather, Dr. Brigden voluntarily elected to refrain from participation because he returned to Canada and did not intend to practice medicine in the United States.
CHCAA regrets any inconvenience or embarrassment to Dr. Brigden by this posting, which was incorrect
