SAN DIEGO (CNS) - A former executive for an Orange County genetics company pleaded guilty today to a federal conspiracy charge for paying kickbacks to physicians.Donald Joseph Matthews, 50, formerly the vice president of market development for Proove Biosciences, admitted in San Diego federal court to paying doctors at least .5 million to order the company's DNA tests for their patients, according to the U.S. Attorney's Office.In total, the U.S. Attorney's Office said Proove billed around million to the Medicare program for the tests -- which the company alleged could determine a patient's risk of drug addiction -- and received around million in reimbursements.Prosecutors said the company claimed the payments were compensation for participation in a clinical research program, but the money was actually "directly tied to the volume of tests that a doctor ordered and whether a doctor continued to order more tests from Proove over time.''In his plea agreement, Matthews admitted that without the financial compensation, ``most doctors were not interested in ordering Proove's tests for their patients.''Doctors who complained about not being paid were told to order more tests, according to the U.S. Attorney's Office.The company's Irvine headquarters was raided by federal authorities in 2017.``Our nation's healthcare system cannot tolerate kickbacks to physicians while criminals line their pockets with taxpayer-funded healthcare dollars, particularly in light of our nation's current struggles with the COVID- 19 pandemic,'' said Acting Special Agent in Charge Omer Meisel of the FBI's San Diego Division.Matthews is scheduled to be sentenced Oct. 26. He faces a maximum penalty of five years in prison and a 0,000 fine, according to the U.S. Attorney's Office. 1798

San Diegans living in their cars and recreational vehicles rallied Wednesday against a new city law that places steep restrictions on where they can stay.The City Council passed the emergency restriction in May after residents complained about safety concerns with people living in their cars.The law bans people from living in their vehicles near homes or schools, and blocks them from staying almost everywhere in the city between 9 p.m. and 6 a.m."Homeless could by anybody, it doesn't mean we're criminals," said Robert Ewing, who lives in his R.V. "Just because we ain't got no place to stay. Times are hard."The law went into effect in June, about the same time the city opened a new safe parking lot for R.V's next to SDCCU Stadium in Mission Valley. The lot, however, has largely gone unused. People who live in their vehicles describe concerns over gas mileage, location and a rule requiring them to be out by 7 a.m.Meanwhile, Disability Rights California is challenging the ordinance in court. A spokeswoman for the mayor says the city is committed to providing individuals living out of their vehicles a safe place to park at night, while connecting them to supportive services.At the same time, she says the city is committed to keeping its neighborhoods clean and safe. 1291

SAN DIEGO -- Chris Fonseca is beginning the new year with a search for a new place to rent."It's a little scary," he says. Hard to blame him for feeling that way. Fonseca says he lucked out and found a unit in an aging building in Hillcrest for just 0 a month. That building is now up for redevelopment, meaning he and his neighbors have to find a new home, in a county where the average rent is north of ,900 a month. "A couple other friends have been looking for places this year and the prices are much, much higher than anticipated," Fonseca says.Higher rents weren't the only headwinds facing San Diegans in 2018. The record summer heat played a part - leading to some electric bills at 0 or higher. More than 100 thousand San Diego households hit the new state-mandated high usage charge, which San Diego Gas and Electric says added about to the typical bill. Earlier in December, SDG&E formally asked the state Public Utilities Commission to remove that charge. A spokeswoman for the CPUC did not immediately respond to requests for comment. Also in 2018, a city audit found that nearly 3,000 families were incorrectly charged for water, largely due to human error. The department is now undergoing major reforms, which should make billing more accurate - and help residents with questions or disputes get through to customer service faster. In addition to the rising rents, the median price for a home rose 4.6 percent over the year to 5,000, CoreLogic reports. 1497
