Fifth Individual Charged in Health Care Kickback Conspiracy

The defendants are alleged to have conspired to pay and receive kickbacks in exchange for physicians’ orders that were used to submit claims for payment to federal health care programs.  The conspirators obtained patient information, including protected health information and personally identifiable information, and used the information to create fictitious physicians’ orders.  The conspirators then sold the physicians’ orders to each other and to other durable medical equipment providers.  Within approximately eight months, the defendants collectively obtained more than $2.9 million in proceeds from the criminal scheme.
