The Largest Healthcare Fraud Takedown in U.S. History The U.S. Justice Department charged 301 people for $900 million in false billings. theatlantic.com excerpt: In what the Justice Department is calling the largest takedown of healthcare fraud in U.S. history, federal authorities on Wednesday brought charges against 301 people for $900 million in false billings. Among those charged includes 61 doctors, nurses, and other licensed medical professionals who, among other crimes, allegedly committed money laundering, identity theft, and Medicare Part D pharmacy fraud. Across the country, 23 states and 36 federal districts coordinated with the Justice Department and the Department of Health and Human Services to go after the alleged fraud schemes. [....] According to the Justice Department, federal authorities have now charged more than 2,900 people for $8.9 billion in false Medicare billings since the Medicare Fraud Strike Force, which led the investigation, was launched in March 2007. more at the link What is sad is that $8.9b since 2007 is plausibly less than half of the fraudulent billings over that period. Not to mention the legal but heavily padded billings that had nothing to do with cost, but were pulled out of thin air. And bloated salaries.
