Entity Type | LLC
Jurisdiction | Connecticut
EIN | 82-4019673
Address | 88 Trumbull Street, Hartford, CT 06103
Counsel | Linden & Pryor LLP (Thomas Beckett, Partner); 750 Main Street, Suite 1400, Hartford, CT 06103
Ownership Structure | Dr. Franklin Osei (60%, Managing Member / Radiologist); Gerald Pratt (40%, non-physician investor)
Agreement Type | Services/Facility Access Agreement
Agreement Date | March 1, 2021
Agreement Term | 3-year initial term (March 1, 2021 – February 28, 2024); auto-renewal for successive 1-year periods
Services Provided | Mobile MRI and advanced diagnostic imaging services at 4 AHT clinic locations
AHT Clinic Locations Served | Hartford Clinic #15; New Haven Clinic #16; Bridgeport Clinic #17; Stamford Clinic #18
Fee Structure | Per-scan facility access fee: $185 per scan paid by Meridian to AHT
FY2022 Scan Volume | 4,200 scans
FY2022 Facility Fee Revenue to AHT | $777,000 (4,200 × $185)
FY2021 Facility Fee Revenue to AHT (comparison) | $592,000 (3,200 scans × $185)
Year-Over-Year Scan Volume Increase | 31.3% (3,200 to 4,200)
FY2022 Referral Volume (AHT physicians to Meridian) | $2,800,000
Risk Tier | High
Applicable Statutes | AKS (42 U.S.C. § 1320a-7b(b)); Stark Law (42 U.S.C. § 1395nn); Conn. Gen. Stat. § 20-7a(d)
Stark Exceptions Evaluated | Space Rental (42 C.F.R. § 411.357(a)); Equipment Rental (42 C.F.R. § 411.357(b))
Stark Exception Met? | No — per-scan fee varies with volume of referrals; fails 'set in advance' and 'does not vary' requirements
AKS Safe Harbors Evaluated | Space Rental (42 C.F.R. § 1001.952(b)); Equipment Rental (42 C.F.R. § 1001.952(c))
AKS Safe Harbor Met? | No — same deficiency; aggregate compensation varies with volume
FMV Substantiation | Deficient — no independent FMV appraisal for per-scan rate; Northbridge opinion requested
Commercial Reasonableness | Deficient — arrangement structure appears designed to correlate payment with referral volume
Key Risk Factor | Per-scan fee creates direct correlation between facility access payments and volume of referrals from AHT physicians to Meridian; fundamental structural non-compliance
Recommended Remediation | Convert per-scan fee to fixed monthly facility rental at FMV; obtain Northbridge FMV appraisal; use revised Equipment Lease / Access Agreement template with Stark/AKS safe harbor provisions; 3-year term with annual FMV recertification
Remediation Status | Draft restructured facility access agreement prepared; transmitted to Linden & Pryor LLP (Thomas Beckett) with compliance rationale letter
Remediation Priority | Immediate
Voluntary Disclosure Consideration | Evaluated under CMS SRDP and OIG SDP — identified as highest-risk item for potential disclosure

Entity Type | Corporation
Jurisdiction | Rhode Island
EIN | 05-6138290
Address | 1200 Warwick Avenue, Suite 110, Warwick, RI 02886
Agreement Type | Preferred Laboratory Agreement
Agreement Date | June 15, 2020
Agreement Term | 5-year initial term (June 15, 2020 – June 14, 2025)
AHT Clinics Served | Rhode Island (3 clinics) and southeastern Massachusetts clinics
FY2022 Referral Volume | $1,650,000
Risk Tier | High
Applicable Statutes | AKS (42 U.S.C. § 1320a-7b(b)); Stark Law (42 U.S.C. § 1395nn); M.G.L. c. 175H, § 3
--- Issue 1: No-Cost Electronic Lab Interface ---
Interface Description | Electronic laboratory interface integrated into ArborConnect EHR/practice management platform
Cost to AHT | $0 (provided at no charge by Pinnacle)
Estimated Market Value | $120,000/year
Stark Non-Monetary Remuneration Limit (CY2023) | $459/year
Exceedance | $120,000 vs. $459 limit — exceeds by approximately $119,541 (260× the limit)
Stark Exception Analysis | Non-Monetary Remuneration Exception (42 C.F.R. § 411.357(k)) — NOT MET; value far exceeds annual limit
AKS Safe Harbor Analysis | Personal Services Safe Harbor — NOT MET; no FMV compensation flowing to Pinnacle for the interface; constitutes potential inducement linked to referrals
--- Issue 2: CME Sponsorship ---
CME Events in FY2022 | 4 events
Total CME Sponsorship Value | $86,000
Average CME Event Cost | $21,500
Concern | CME sponsorship by referral source creates appearance of inducement to refer; combined with lab interface, total remuneration = $206,000/year
--- Issue 3: Dr. Karen Ellsworth Equity Interest ---
Equity Holder | Dr. Karen Ellsworth (spouse of AHT CEO Dr. Nathan Ellsworth)
Equity Percentage | 4.2% passive interest
Nature of Interest | Passive — Dr. Karen Ellsworth is an independent physician, not employed by AHT
Stark Analysis | Ownership/Investment Exception (42 C.F.R. § 411.356) — requires analysis of publicly traded securities and rural provider criteria; partial applicability
AKS Analysis | Investment Interest Safe Harbor (42 C.F.R. § 1001.952(a)) — partial; requires further analysis of entity size and passive investor criteria
Conflict of Interest | CEO's spouse holds equity in entity receiving $1.65M in referrals from AHT; creates conflict of interest requiring formal disclosure and recusal protocols
State Law | M.G.L. c. 175H, § 3
Combined Annual Remuneration from Pinnacle | $206,000 ($120,000 interface + $86,000 CME)
Recommended Remediation — Interface | Convert to FMV license fee arrangement; AHT to pay Pinnacle FMV for interface or Pinnacle to charge FMV; letter sent requesting restructuring discussions
Recommended Remediation — CME | Separate CME sponsorship from referral relationship; require independent CME funding or FMV payment for educational services
Recommended Remediation — Equity | Require formal conflict-of-interest disclosure by Dr. Nathan Ellsworth; evaluate divestiture or recusal protocols; enhance referral independence safeguards
Remediation Priority | Immediate
Voluntary Disclosure Consideration | Evaluated under CMS SRDP and OIG SDP
