ATLANTA (Legal Newsline) – A Doraville, Ga., eye doctor will pay $790,000 to the state Department of Community Health for allegedly billing state Medicaid for medically unnecessary procedures, Georgia Attorney General Sam Olens said on Thursday.

Dr. Zheng Xiang Wang and his Wang Eye Clinic allegedly billed the state for several procedures that were unnecessary such as: inserting tear duct plugs, photographing the inside of eyes and puncturing corneas. Additionally, Wang also allegedly overstated levels of service his office rendered to patients.
