There were, indeed, board restrictions: Cull had his licence to practice suspended between 1989 and 1993 by the Texas State Board of Examiners of Psychologists. The board found that Cull “formed a corporation for the delivery of professional services in a manner that is in violation of Board Rule 465.5; by submitting or causing to be submitted 3rd party insurance claims for professional services that were not in fact delivered.” The board further found that he “failed to follow established standards for supervision in his professional relations....” The initial complaint against Cull was filed by Aetna Life Insurance company. In 1990 and 1991, Cull was collecting Alberta and Ontario health dollars while under licence suspension.
As already indicated, although Canadians in general were sought after as psychiatric fodder, the most prized of all were Ontarians. This is reflected in Cull’s personal remuneration for acquiring Ontario residents: he was paid between $140,000 and $160,000 per month, approximately $2 million (Cdn) per year. A deal memo revealed that he was paid approximately $524,000 for codependency for the period of September 14, 1990, to December 31, 1990, a fee of almost $38,000 per week.
A co-worker of Cull revealed in a tape transcript at a meeting held in HCA Hill Country Hospital in Texas that willingness to compromise medical integrity for profit was practically 100%: “...I’m not getting the information that I would like to have and not getting any communication with the therapists up there, which I think is not real, real, real good medicine, and I wouldn’t do it except that corporate wants us to do it and Jim wants us to do it and we want the Canadians’ business. I’m willing to compromise.”
One psychiatrist who blew the whistle, Dr. Charles S. Arnold, stated that “I have specific knowledge of at least one case where a psychiatrist had thirty-five patients in the hospital and nobody in the world can take care of that many people charging [each] a hundred dollars a day. That’s in the neighborhood of ninety to a hundred thousand dollars a month!”
The $400 Million Swindle continued...
