OKLAHOMA CITY – An Enid physician has agreed to pay $50,000 to settle claims accusing him of issuing prescriptions and not having a registration number for his clinic.
Joe Alexander, M.D., has agreed to pay the civil penalty claims stemming from allegations he violated the Comprehensive Drug Abuse Prevention and Control Act of 1970 and its regulations.
Alexander owns and operates the Alexander Clinic, a weight loss center in Enid. From Jan. 1, 2017, to June 10, 2019, Alexander is accused of issuing prescriptions for Schedule III and IV controlled substances in Oklahoma without a DEA registration number for the clinic address in Oklahoma, and without a controlled substance license from the Oklahoma Bureau of Narcotics.
In reaching this settlement, Alexander did not admit liability and the government did not make any concessions about the legitimacy of the claims.
The agreement allows the parties to avoid the delay, expense, inconvenience, and uncertainty involved in litigating the case.
