Federal authorities on Oct. 12 unsealed a 32-count indictment that charged four individuals and seven companies in a $1 billion health care fraud scheme, the Department of Justice announced.
Between June 1, 2015, and April 1, 2018, the defendants conspired to deceive tens of thousands of patrons, including over 100 doctors, to defraud private health care benefit programs, the indictment alleges. The crimes took place in the Eastern District of Tennessee and across other parts of the country.
