However, these benefits, items, and services were either not medically necessary or were not provided to Medicare beneficiaries.

SENTENCED: Juan Gil-Alejo
On February 6, 2019, Juan Gil-Alejo was sentenced to 2 ½ years in prison and ordered to pay over $3.9 million in restitution, joint and several, after pleading guilty to a charge of conspiracy to commit healthcare fraud and wire fraud.
According to the indictment, Gil-Alejo was the owner of Sonic Pharmacy Inc., and co-owner of RX Quality Pharmacy, both located in the greater-Miami, area. Gil-Alejo and his co-conspirators obtained the names and medical identification of Medicare beneficiaries and doctors in order to submit fraudulent claims for prescription drugs to Medicare for reimbursement. However, the prescribed drugs were not medically necessary nor provided to the beneficiaries.
Consequently, Medicare and Medicare drug plan sponsors made a combined $2.9 million in overpayments to Sonic and RX Quality pharmacies.
Gil-Alejo absconded to his native Cuba after being indicted in June 2015. On September 4, 2018, he was apprehended while attempting to reenter the United States on an inbound fight from Havana, Cuba to Tampa, Florida.
CAPTURED: David Kim
On February 14, 2019, Most Wanted Fugitive David Kim was apprehended in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam. Kim was indicted in October 2015 on charges of healthcare fraud, illegal remunerations, and aggravated identity theft. Investigators believe that Kim was involved in a scheme to fraudulently bill Medicare approximately $15.2 million for physical therapy services that were either not reimbursable or were not fully provided.
Kim was a licensed chiropractor and owner of New Hope Clinic (New Hope) in Los Angeles. According to the indictment, Kim was recruited by co-conspirators to solicit Medicare beneficiaries to receive purported physical therapy services, which would then be fraudulently billed to Medicare. Kim recruited Medicare beneficiaries to his clinics, obtained their unique Medicare identification numbers and patient information, and supplied the information to his co-conspirators, Joseff Sales, a physical therapist, and Danniel Goyena, a physical therapy assistant.
Sales and Goyena hired physical therapists to evaluate clients and created physical therapy treatment plans. Ultimately, clients received services that were not reimbursable through Medicare, such as acupuncture or massage, and some clients never received any follow-up physical therapy services. Kim was aware that his partners submitted claims using clients' names and unique identification numbers to Medicare for reimbursement for physical therapy services, despite the clients having received other non-reimbursable services.
Between March 2012 and January 2014, Kim received $379,785 in kickback payments from companies owned by Sales and Goyena for the patients who were referred by Kim and purportedly received physical therapy services at New Hope. Goyena and Sales both pleaded guilty to healthcare fraud and illegal remunerations and were each sentenced to 4 years and 3 months in prison and held jointly liable for $7,896,007 in restitution.
Kim was found to be residing in Vietnam. Interpol and Vietnamese officials were alerted and, working with HHS OIG and FBI, had Kim sent back to the United States. He is currently in U.S. custody and awaiting trial.
Too late assholes.

What? Would you let traitors claiming to be veterans with securities license set up falsified electronic records attributed to federal agencies?
NO. This is NOT false. It's genetic engineering. I watched for months as people from Russia and the Ukraine were strategically targeted for accusations of "MediCare fraud" mostly attributable to setting up options to make sure that OTHER Russians and Ukrainians were not able to later "to walk away" from the charges.
But no one prosecuted ACTUAL "MediCare fraud." Instead, you laundered that Russian and Ukrainian DNA to named references for a...medical device supplier getting subsidies from "MediCare." That 500 percent extra for admin costs at the Small Business Administration means something else right now, huh?
That "Dr. Ulyanov" reference was real.
And recent...
You will not get away with murdering my mother because I refused to let you knee cap me for NOT agreeing to deal drugs using kids.
Your slander of my Irish is about to get reverse indexed.
