Iowa nurse faces no license restrictions amid False Claims Act case
Cori Lempiainen an ARNP from Ames and practicing in Des Moines will face no limits on her Iowa nursing license after agreeing to a two day ethics course. The board alleges she provided care to hundreds of patients referred by an online company without a patient provider relationship. She previously settled federal False Claims Act claims by paying 150000 dollars for billing Medicare for 677 visits and signing 2736 orders for unnecessary braces after listening to patient calls.
