DA URSULA JONES DICKSON SECURES $3.8 MILLION JUDGMENT
Includes Permanent Injunction Against Medical Providers
March 26, 2026
OAKLAND, CA — Alameda County District Attorney Ursula Jones Dickson announced today that the Superior Court of California, County of Alameda, has entered a default judgment imposing $3.8 million in civil penalties and a permanent injunction against Trovato Medical Group, Inc., American Expert Doctors, Inc., Saloojas Inc., and Parmjit M. Singh for unlawful and misleading billing practices related to COVID-19 testing and vaccination services.
According to the complaint, defendants provided COVID-19 testing and vaccination services to tens of thousands of patients at a Newark clinic between 2020 and 2023. Despite advertising these services as “free,” defendants allegedly attempted to bill patients up to $1,000 per test or vaccination, in violation of California’s statutory ban on charging patients for Covid-19 testing and vaccinations.
The complaint further alleges that defendants aggressively pursued payment from patients, including efforts to collect on these charges despite representing at the time of service that no out-of-pocket costs would be incurred.
The Court granted the People’s request for a permanent injunction prohibiting defendants, and anyone acting in concert with them, from engaging in false or misleading advertising or unlawful, unfair, or fraudulent business practices.
Jones Dickson said, “The Alameda County District Attorney’s Office is committed to protecting consumers, enforcing the law, and ensuring fairness and accountability in the marketplace. During a public health crisis, residents should not be misled or pressured into paying for services that were represented as free. This judgment holds the defendants accountable and protects consumers from unlawful billing practices.”
