Medicare Fraud Busts in Three States
Federal agents arrested several suspects in a crackdown on Medicare fraud that spanned three states. More arrests are expected to come later. Federal authorities reported that a few dozen suspects in the areas of Miami, Brooklyn, and Detroit billed Medicare for over sixty million dollars. The bills were for bogus medical equipment, therapy, and HIV transfusions.
Department of Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius is expected to hold a press conference in New York later Tuesday to discuss the raids. The arrests are part of a joint task force between HHS and the Department of Justice.
