Healthcare Fraud Takedown - 243 Arrested, $712 Million in false billings

More than 240 individuals—including doctors, nurses, and other licensed professionals—were arrested this week for their alleged participation in Medicare fraud schemes involving approximately $712 million in false billings.

The arrests, which began Tuesday, were part of a coordinated operation in 17 cities by Medicare Fraud Strike Force teams, which include personnel from the FBI, the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), the Department of Justice (DOJ), and local law enforcement. The Strike Force’s mission is to combat health care fraud, waste, and abuse.

At a press conference today at DOJ Headquarters in Washington, D.C., officials said the arrests constituted the largest-ever health care fraud takedown in terms of both loss amount and arrests.

“These are extraordinary figures,” said Attorney General Loretta Lynch. “They billed for equipment that wasn’t provided, for care that wasn’t needed, and for services that weren’t rendered.”

Don't know if this was talked about. But this isn't showing up in the mainstream. Check it out.

BUMP. Come on, tell me this is old or at least acknowledge it. Or are you all too busy buying into the race war?

Re: Healthcare Fraud Takedown - 243 Arrested, $712 Million in false billings
I know an Anesthesiologist who owned a surgery center in Beverly Hills. When they caught up with him for Insurance Fraud - three docs on his staff killed themselves! He was charged with fraudulent billings of over six million dollars in a two year period. Then it was increased to 7.9 million by the time he went to court.

He got off with a 2 million dollar restitution, a fine of $300k, and that was it. He sold the business to some friends who are basically doing the same shit again, and the original guy is still sitting fat, dumb, and happy on his few million stashed in offshore accounts. Of course he paid his legal team over $1.5 million but that was peanuts compared to what he made and kept!

So if you figure 7.9 minus 2.3 (restitution and fine) minus another 1.4 in legal fees, his net take (which he kept because they couldn’t prove it was him) he still has 4.2 million stashed offshore and probably in mostly gold and silver because it’s harder to ever trace.
