Telehealth Company Cerebral Agrees to Pay Over $3.6 Million in Connection with Business Practices that Encouraged the Unauthorized Distribution of Controlled Substances 11/04/2024 07:00 AM EST "People seeking care for their mental health conditions should receive high-quality care that is not motivated or driven by greed," stated United States Attorney Peace.  "Cerebral sought to increase its bottom line by increasing the prescription of drugs, including controlled substances that can be highly addictive and dangerous.  Since my Office's investigation came to Cerebral's attention, the company has cooperated fully and taken significant steps to remediate the institutional failures that allowed this situation to occur in the first place.  This resolution ensures that Cerebral will be financially accountable for its unacceptable conduct and serves as a reminder to the healthcare industry that my Office is committed to ensuring patient safety and protecting the public from business practices like those of Cerebral."
