Total MD Physicians Group, P.L.L.C., doing business as Total Men's Primary Care, and Dr. Mason Jones reached a civil settlement requiring payment of up to $600,000 to resolve allegations of Controlled Substances Act violations. The Department of Justice alleged deficiencies in record-keeping and the electronic issuance of Schedule II controlled substance prescriptions without an established physician-patient relationship. The US Drug Enforcement Administration identified the alleged violations during onsite inspections at clinics in Austin, Bee Cave, and Cedar Park in 2023. The agreement resolves allegations only and does not determine liability.
US Drug Enforcement Administration Special Agent in Charge Miguel Madrigal said, “Reckless and unlawful prescribing practices endanger public health, fuel prescription drug misuse, and undermine the integrity of the medical profession. The DEA [US Drug Enforcement Administration] will continue holding any medical professionals who violates the law accountable.”
US Attorney for the Western District of Texas Justin R. Simmons said, “When medical providers violate patient trust and federal law, my Office will hold them accountable through whatever means available.”
