March 5, 2010 EL PASO — A federal lawsuit against a medical center with two clinics in El Paso has been dismissed, attorneys for the center said this week.
The suit alleging Medicare fraud by Fresenius Medical Care of North America and a clinic manager, Larry Ramirez, was dismissed by U.S. District Judge Phillip Martinez, attorneys said. Martinez dismissed the case after a jury found that a doctor named in the lawsuit, Dr. Alfonso Chavez, wasn’t liable.
