A pharmacist with a compounding pharmacy in Lakewood was arrested Thursday and charged with paying more than $50,000 to a Toms River physician to induce the doctor to make prescription referrals to the pharmacy, U.S. Attorney Paul J. Fishman announced.
The physician was identified in the criminal complaint only as "MD-1."
The pharmacist, Vladimir Kleyman, 42, of Lakewood, is the president and pharmacist in charge of Prescriptions R US – a compounding pharmacy in Lakewood. He was charged with violating the federal Anti-Kickback Statute by using a middle-man to provide repeated cash payments – totaling at least tens of thousands of dollars – to the physician over the course of several months.
Kleyman appeared before U.S. Magistrate Judge James Clark III in Newark federal court Thursday afternoon, a statement from U.S. Attorney's office said.
