Nothing brings me greater pleasure much more than when Church Street Heath Management puts one of their "fake owner" dentists on TV. I dare someone to ask him if he really owns his Small Smiles dental clinic and if he practices dentistry with the patients interest in mind, or Arcapita Bank's best interest in mind.
According to documents filed with the Georgia Secretary of State, Dr. William Nash, DDS is the CEO, Dr. Danial Spears, DDS is CFO and Dr. Todd Bjur is Secretary. In reality none of these guys own this clinic or any other in Georgia but receive $1250 each pay period for allowing his name to be used on state business forms. Forms, likely he didn't even sign but were rubber stamped with his signature. He and Dr. Danial Spears were both paid this amount. It's a mystery why Dr. William Nash would put his name on these documents

Another FORBA Insurance Company Does Not Want To Pay Up - No Big Surprise Here
FORBA Holding and its parent company, Small Smiles Holding seem to be having a magnitude of problems getting their insurance companies to pay up and/or continue coverage. I am just taking a wild guess here but I think that might get much worse in the future.
Imagine the liability and increase in risk when clinic fully implement the sedation of children, either at a local hospital, surgery center, and in some cases, in house!!!!!!!!!! Please see Meet The Dead Children On the Right.
Today FORBA filed a lawsuit against Zurich: See It Here
On January 15, 2010, FORBA signed a settlement agreement with the United States Department of Justice and OIG-HHS whereby FORBA agreed to make a structured settlement payment of $14,285,644.75 (plus interest) to the United States, in exchange for a release of claims against it, its current officers and directors, its parents, subsidiaries, and affiliates, and the Small Smiles Dental Centers arising from the alleged wrongful conduct.
FORBA also agreed to pay attorneys’ fees in the aggregate amount of $182,183.52 to three relators that filed qui tam actions alleging wrongful acts on the part of FORBA, as well as other defendants.
Pursuant to settlement agreements with each of the states and the District of Columbia, FORBA agreed to pay the aggregate amount of $9,714,355.25 (plus interest) to Alabama, Arizona, Colorado, Connecticut, District of Columbia, Georgia, Idaho, Indiana, Kansas, Kentucky, Maryland, Massachusetts, Nebraska, Nevada, New Hampshire, New Mexico, New York, Ohio, Ohio, Oklahoma, Pennsylvania, South Carolina, Texas, and Virginia in exchange for a release of claims against it, its current officers and directors, its parents, subsidiaries, and affiliates, and the Small Smiles Dental Centers arising from the alleged wrongful conduct.
Payment of $24 million is chump change to protect its current officers and directors, keep them out of jail. In addition to keeping their families all nice and cozy in their elabrate homes and jet setting lifestyles.
Since the agreement was signed and the token pledge of the Corporate Integrity Agreement, FORBA has managed to bill medicaid over $131 million in the last 10 months.
FORBA states in the lawsuit they informed Zurich in November 2007, while the policy was in force, about the investigation and costs involved in defending themselves. Zurch says too bad, you did not get a draft settlement until August 2009, so you are on your own.
I'm no genius, but does there seem to be a pattern emerging here? No insurance company wants to cover FORBA, Small Smiles Clinics, Small Smiles dentists and other employees for all their misdeeds. The ones that have hung on, are doing so "eyes wide open" and most likely "rates sky high".
I am concerned FORBA and Small Smiles Holding have failed to inform their insurance companies of the hundreds of lawsuits in the works against, the clinics, the dentists, the staff, the directors, the officers down to the cleaning lady. Ok, that was a lie, I'm not concerned one bit!
To you those dentists who have been fool enough to lend your name to FORBA so they can use you as an "owner", you may be in the worst shape of all. You would be wise to storm the FORBA offices and demand your rubber stamps back and your names removed from all legal filings, and do so before the shredder gets fired up.
Do any of you have any idea all the documents they file a year with your name stamped all over it?
