A Richmond acupuncturist could be facing a criminal investigation over allegations he over billed B.C.'s Medical Services Plan to the tune of around $2 million.
That was the view of Brian Wallace, legal counsel for the College of Traditional Chinese Medicine Practitioners and Acupuncturists of B.C.
Dr. Mubai Qiu, who runs Mu Bai Enterprise Corp. on Odlin Cresc., was under investigation after the CTCMA became aware of his claim of treating more than 461 patients in a single day.
Qiu, who did not attend any of the hearings, made an application for a stay of proceedings based on the argument that the sharing of billing information between the MSP and CTCMA was done unlawfully.
"The college's submission on this is not only is it not unlawful, but they are obliged to share it," Wallace said.
The college has made an application to suspend Qiu from practising pending the conclusion of the hearing.
