An oncologist and former president of Florida Cancer Specialists & Research Institute LLC has pleaded guilty to a conspiracy charge in what authorities say was a scheme to limit cancer-care competition in Southwest Florida.
William Harwin pleaded guilty Wednesday to “conspiracy to allocate oncology treatments,” the U.S. Department of Justice said in a news release Thursday.
The case involved allegations that Florida Cancer Specialists and another oncology company agreed to suppress competition, with Florida Cancer Specialists providing chemotherapy treatments and the other company providing radiation treatments, according to Thursday’s news release and a 2020 Justice Department news release.
