DOJ unveils charges for $6.5 billion in health fraud schemes
The Hill
The Department of Justice (DOJ) unveiled on Tuesday charges against more than 450 defendants for alleged health care fraud totaling over $6.5 billion in false claims, as part of the Trump administration’s heightened focus on stopping fraud.
It was the second largest amount ever charged in a health care fraud operation, officials said.
Charges were brought against 90 medical professionals for a range of alleged healthcare fraud schemes, including wound care, hospice, adult day care and opioid distribution.
The DOJ’s annual healthcare fraud takedown and fraud enforcement actions also included what the agency said were the largest number of Medicaid fraud defendants and Medicaid fraud loss charged in department history: 295 defendants and over $518 million in false claims.
