Did he send the complete test results to the physician who ordered the tests? If so, then did none of these doctors ever wise up to what was going on and complain?

If that's true then I think there's some shared culpability there... maybe not enough to send anyone to prison, but certainly enough to kick some doctors out of Medicare. Some of them would have been receiving multiple unwanted test results back from this guy every day.

Because the doctors were likely getting kickback payments.

Usually they are integrated into the physicians EM/HR. If the doc orders a 12 panel. Lab runs 22, sends the results on all 22, but the physician would only see the 12 unless they pulled up the entire lab report which shows up as an attachment on the patient chart.
