New York-based Aspen Dental Management, which operates 29 dental clinics in Indiana, has been sued for operating those clinics illegally, according to the Associated Press. A federal lawsuit filed in New York claims Aspen Dental and Leonard Green and Partners, the private-equity firm that controls Aspen, are violating laws that require clinics to be owned by dentists who perform procedures onsite. Court papers say Aspen's "so-called 'Practice Owners' are nothing more than de facto employees and/or independent contractors" of the company, which controls its 358 clinics' marketing, hiring, training and bookkeeping. Aspen says it provides management services and doesn't control clinical care. A spokeswoman says the accusations in the filing are "entirely without merit." A message left with Los Angeles-based LGP wasn't initially returned. Aspen operates 29 dental offices in Indiana, including 10 in the Indianapolis area, according to its website.
