When the government discovered that a home healthcare agency was paying kickbacks in return for referrals of Medicare patients, it went after everyone involved – including the patients. Daymi Fuentes Gil, Olga Martinez Rodriguez, and Joel Loyola were Medicare beneficiaries and patients of Superstar Home Health Care, Inc., a home health agency that provided services to homebound Medicare beneficiaries. The home health agency offered these patients kickbacks in return for using the agency’s services, and the patients accepted. According to the government, that made both the agency and the patients guilty of a conspiracy to pay and to receive illegal kickbacks. The three patients were convicted by a jury and now will be sentenced. They face up to five years in prison and a fine of up to $25,000 each. The Anti-Kickback Statute states that it is a felony to knowingly “solicit or receive any remuneration” in return for purchasing services or equipment that will be reimbursed by Medicare, Medicaid, or another government program. It is not a defense that you actually needed the service or equipment. Once a kickback is involved, the entire transaction is considered a false claim. The law is very broad. It is not limited to payments of money. A kickback can include free services or equipment, gifts, discounts, or almost anything else of value. It also covers everyone involved. In this particular case, the government has charged 18 individuals, including the president and manager of the home healthcare agency, several employees of the agency, a number of independent patient recruiters, and the Medicare beneficiaries who received the kickbacks. If you are aware that kickbacks are being paid or other types of health care fraud are occurring, then you should consult with an experienced Medicare fraud attorney immediately to protect your rights. Do not wait until FBI agents are knocking at your door. You may be able to avoid criminal prosecution if you act quickly. You may even be entitled to a very large reward and legal protections as a whistleblower if you are the first one to help the government uncover the fraud. Under the False Claims Act, the government pays rewards of up to 30% of the amount it actually recovers. Do not delay. Get an experienced trial lawyer on your side.

Spencer Brown will spend the next year in jail after pleading guilty to one count of Medicaid fraud. The charges resulted from the submission of Medicaid claims for dental services that were never provided. According to the government, Mr. Brown submitted the false and fraudulent claims to Medicaid in his capacity as an employee of a dental practice operated by his wife, Lisa Valentine, D.D.S. Mr. Brown allegedly billed the Medicaid program $156,918 for services that were never rendered. After completing his jail term, Mr. Brown will be placed on supervised probation for five years. He must also complete 150 hours of community service and pay $156,918 in restitution to the Medicaid program. The government aggressively prosecutes anyone who submits false claims to Medicaid or Medicare. If you are under investigation for Medicaid fraud or have been charged with a crime, then you should consult with an experienced Medicaid fraud attorney immediately to protect your rights.

A husband and wife who operated a medical transportation company have both been convicted of Medicaid fraud because the husband was excluded from participating in federal healthcare programs due to a prior conviction for Medicaid fraud. Tracy Roberts is listed as the owner of Community Transportation LLC, a specialized medical vehicle (SMV) company, and is a certified Medicaid provider of medical transportation services. As part of the certification process, she agreed to comply with all state and federal regulations governing the Medicaid program. Her husband, Joseph Roberts, was convicted of felony Medicaid fraud in 2007 and was sentenced to four years of probation. As a result of his conviction, Mr. Roberts was placed on the federal exclusion list, which prohibited him from working for any certified Medicaid provider. Exclusion means that Medicare, Medicaid, and other federal government health care programs will not pay the provider for services performed or ordered by the excluded party. The law precludes not only direct payments to an excluded individual, but also indirect payments such as the payment of wages to an excluded individual who works with Medicare or Medicaid patients. According to the government, Mr. Roberts provided transportation services on multiple occasions for Community Transportation, LLC, and Mrs. Roberts filed claims with Medicaid for reimbursement for those services. Because services provided by an excluded individual are not eligible for reimbursement, these were considered false or fraudulent claims. If you own or operate a healthcare business that submits claims to Medicare, Medicaid, or other government programs, you should check to ensure that your employees are not excluded from participating in those programs. If you have inadvertently hired someone who is excluded, then you should consult an experienced Medicaid fraud attorney immediately to protect yourself.

Amgen Inc. has agreed to pay $612 million to settle ten whistleblower lawsuits alleging that the company illegally promoted a misbranded drug. Under the qui tam provisions of the False Claims Act, the whistleblowers are entitled to a reward of between 15% and 30% of the amount actually paid to the government as a result of their efforts. The lawsuits involved the drug Aranesp, which was approved by the FDA for treatment of anemia in patients with chronic renal failure. The FDA approval was specific to calibrated doses for particular patient populations. The lawsuits alleged that Amgen knowingly promoted the sale and use of Aranesp for dosing regimens and indications that were not approved by the FDA. The off-label marketing allegedly included promoting Aranesp for treatment of anemia caused by cancer, anemia caused by chronic disease, chronic anemia, and anemia caused by myelodysplastic syndrome. Under the Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act, it is illegal for a drug company to promote a drug for uses or at doses not approved by the FDA. This is known as “off-label” marketing and renders the drug “misbranded.” Promotion of a misbranded drug may also violate the False Claims Act because any resulting claims for reimbursement from Medicare or Medicaid are considered “false claims.” As the whistleblowers filed their lawsuits, the government conducted investigations and decided to intervene in the actions. The government alleged that Amgen engaged in three types of illegal conduct: Off-Label Marketing: The government alleged that Amgen promoted Aranesp and two other drugs that it manufactured, Enbrel and Neulasta, for off-label uses and doses that were not approved by the FDA and not properly reimbursable by federal insurance programs. The government also alleged that Amgen used journal articles that were insufficient to support the safety and efficacy of the off-label uses at issue, and improperly obtained listings in medical compendia in an effort to establish that the off-label uses were medically accepted and thereby eligible for coverage by federal health care programs. Kickbacks: The government alleged that Amgen offered illegal kickbacks to influence health care providers to select its products for use, regardless of whether they were reimbursable by federal health care programs or were medically necessary. The Anti-Kickback Statute prohibits offering, paying, or accepting anything of value in return for recommending the use of a product or service that will be reimbursed by Medicare and certain other government healthcare programs. False Price Reports: The government alleged that Amgen engaged in false price reporting practices, including knowingly submitting false Average Sales Prices, Best Prices, and Average Manufacturer Prices for several drugs. Pricing reports from pharmaceutical companies are used by Medicare, Medicaid, and other government healthcare programs to set reimbursement rates. The qui tam or whistle-blower provisions of the False Claims Act allow private citizens to bring lawsuits on behalf of the United States and share in any recovery. The lawsuits are initially filed “under seal” (in secret) to give the government an opportunity to conduct an investigation. If the lawsuit is successful, the whistleblower is entitled to a reward of between 15% and 30% of the amount actually paid to the government. If you are aware of off-label marketing, kickbacks, false price reports, or other types of false or fraudulent marketing of pharmaceuticals, you may be eligible for a substantial reward and legal protection as a whistleblower.

Former pharmaceutical sales representative Mark Giddarie will receive an $18.5 million reward for helping the government pursue a False Claims Act lawsuit against Sanofi US. The reward will be paid out of Sanofi's $109 million settlement to resolve allegations that it gave doctors kickbacks in the form of free products and submitted false average sales price (ASP) reports to the government. The case involved Hyalgan, a pharmaceutical used to relieve knee pain due to osteoarthritis. Hyalgan is injected directly into the knee joint to restore the cushioning and lubricating properties of normal joint fluid. It is prescribed for individuals whose pain cannot be managed with simple painkillers, exercise or physical therapy. The government alleged that Sanofi US sales representatives entered into illegal sampling arrangements with physicians, using free units of Hyalgan as kickbacks and promising to provide more free “samples” in order to lower Hyalgan’s effective price. According to the government, Sanofi US provided its sales representatives with thousands of free “sample” Hyalgan units and trained its sales representatives to market the “value add” of these units to physicians. The government provided the following examples of what it contended were illegal kickbacks:
Offering physicians anything of value to induce them to purchase or prescribe your product violates the Anti-Kickback Statute. Any claims for reimbursement submitted to Medicare or Medicaid for those products then become "false claims" in violation of the False Claims Act. According to the government, Sanofi US chose not to compete by lowering the actual invoiced price of Hyalgan for fear of setting off a price war with its competitor that would lead to a “downward spiral” in prices and reimbursements. The $109 million settlement also resolves allegations that Sanofi US submitted false average sales price (ASP) reports for Hyalgan. The ASP reports were false, the government contends, because they did not account for the free units that were distributed to physicians based on their purchases. ASP reports submitted by pharmaceutical companies are used to set reimbursement rates for government healthcare programs such as Medicare and Medicaid. The government alleged that the false ASP reports submitted by Sanofi caused government programs to pay inflated amounts for Hyalgan and the competing product. This case may never have been brought except for one pharmaceutical sales representative, Mark Giddarie, who consulted with a False Claims Act attorney. Under the False Claims Act, an individual who has knowledge of false or fraudulent claims may commence a qui tam lawsuit on behalf of the U.S. Government. The individual who commences the lawsuit is called a “relator.” The qui tam lawsuit is filed under seal (in secret) while the government investigates the allegations and decides whether to pursue the case. If the government recovers money from the defendant, the relator is entitled to a reward of between 15% and 30% of the amount the government recovers from the defendant. If you have information that a pharmaceutical company is offering kickbacks in the form of cash, free samples conditioned on purchases, or lavish gifts, dinners, speaking fees or other benefits, then you should consult with an experienced False Claims Act attorney immediately. No attorneys’ fees are charged unless your case is successful.

The owners of five pharmacies in New York City have pleaded guilty to defrauding Medicaid of millions of dollars by submitting bills for drugs that they never dispensed to their patients. The pharmacy owners and corporations they controlled pleaded guilty to stealing a total of $9.9 million from Medicaid. The government developed evidence of the pharmacy fraud by conducting an audit comparing the amount of drugs each pharmacy legally purchased against the total amount Medicaid paid each pharmacy. Auditors from the New York State Attorney General’s Medicaid Fraud Control Unit (MFCU) determined that the pharmacies had not purchased enough inventory to fill all of the prescriptions billed to and paid by Medicaid. Each of the defendants admitted in court that they used their positions in the pharmacies to steal from the Medicaid system by billing or having pharmacy employees bill Medicaid for drugs that they never dispensed to their patients. The defendants reached plea agreements that will result in widely varying sentences – from up to three years in prison plus $7.7 million in restitution for the worst offender, to a conditional discharge and 300 hours of community service plus restitution of $160,000. Sanjay K. Patel and corporations he controlled were accused of stealing the most money from Medicaid -- $7.7 million. He was sentenced to a term of one to three years in a state prison. In addition, Mr. Patel has already paid Medicaid approximately $3 million and he has agreed to pay another $4.7 million in restitution to New York State. Divy Dixit, a part owner and supervising pharmacist of Akshar Pharmacy in the Bronx, was charged with stealing more than one million dollars from Medicaid. He pleaded guilty to Grand Larceny and will be sentenced to five years probation and 300 hours of community service. He must pay the Medicaid program full restitution of $1,041,491.77 plus interest before he is sentenced. Sanjay R. Patel, a part owner and supervising pharmacist of Nayosha Pharmacy in the Bronx was charged with stealing more than one million dollars from Medicaid. He pleaded guilty to Grand Larceny and will be sentenced to six months home confinement and five years probation. He must pay the Medicaid program full restitution of $1,266,483.59 plus interest before he is sentenced. Alpesh Patel, a part owner and supervising pharmacist of Yogi Pharmacy in the Bronx, was charged with stealing more than $250,000 from Medicaid. He pleaded guilty to Petit Larceny and will be sentenced to a conditional discharge and 300 hours of community service. He must pay the Medicaid program full restitution of $252,401.62 plus interest before he is sentenced. Bharat Patel, the supervising pharmacist of Family Care Pharmacy in the Bronx, was charged with stealing more than $150,000 from Medicaid. He pleaded guilty to Petit Larceny and was sentenced to a conditional discharge and 300 hours of community service after paying the Medicaid program full restitution of $158,385.38 plus interest. If you are under investigation or accused of Medicare or Medicaid fraud, you should consult with an experienced Medicaid fraud attorney immediately. An experienced trial lawyer can help you prepare your defense, negotiate with the government to help avoid or reduce the charges against you, move to dismiss the charges, fight the charges in court, and help you negotiate a resolution. Do not delay. How you respond to the investigation or charges at the early stages can make all the difference between a favorable resolution of your case or a stiff prison sentence.

A physician faces up to 10 years in prison for falsifying plans of care for Medicare beneficiaries. Dr. Ben Harris Echols was convicted of one count of conspiracy to commit health care fraud and six counts of false statements relating to health care matters. According to the government’s evidence at trial, the doctor signed plans of care for Medicare beneficiaries that contained false information. The false care plans allowed two home health care companies, Family Healthcare Group Inc. and Houston Compassionate Care, to bill Medicare for services that were not medically necessary and in some cases were never actually provided. The two home health care companies received $17.3 million from Medicare, including $5.5 million for beneficiaries for whom Dr. Echols signed a plan of care. The evidence included testimony of other doctors who were the treating physicians of the patients. These doctors testified that the patients did not need the care that had been billed to Medicare based on the plans. Two Medicare beneficiaries also testified that they had never seen Dr. Echols, that they had different primary care physicians, and they did not want or need home health care. The conspiracy count carries a maximum potential penalty of 10 years in prison and a $250,000 fine. Each of the false statements counts carries a maximum potential penalty of five years in prison and a $250,000 fine. If you are under investigation or have been charged with a crime, then you should consult with an experienced Medicare fraud attorney immediately to protect your rights. You should also consult an experienced lawyer if your employer has asked you to sign false medical records.

Pfizer Inc. has agreed to pay $55 million plus interest to settle allegations that Wyeth LLC, a Pfizer subsidiary, promoted the prescription drug Protonix for off-label use. Protonix is a proton pump inhibitor (PPI) that was used by physicians to treat various forms of gastro-esophageal reflux disease (GERD). The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved Protonix for short-term treatment of erosive esophagitis, a condition associated with GERD that can only be diagnosed with an invasive endoscopy. The government alleged that Wyeth engaged in a “multifaceted” campaign to promote Protonix for all forms of GERD, including symptomatic GERD, which was far more common and could be diagnosed without an endoscopy. These other uses were not approved by the FDA. Under the Federal Food Drug and Cosmetic Act, manufacturers must obtain FDA approval for any indication for use for which a manufacturer intends to market a drug. A prescription drug that is intentionally marketed for unapproved off-label uses is considered “misbranded.” The government alleged that Wyeth intentionally engaged in the following conduct to promote Protonix for off-label use:
Pfizer denied the allegations, and the settlement resolves the case without a finding of guilt or innocence. While the Pfizer case was brought by the government directly, many off-label promotion cases are brought by whistleblowers. Under the qui tam provisions of the False Claims Act, whistleblowers are entitled to a reward of up to 30% of the amount of money the government recovers. In some cases, the rewards in pharmaceutical cases have reached millions of dollars. If you have information that a pharmaceutical company is promoting its drugs for off-label uses, then you should consult with an experienced False Claims Act attorney immediately.

A registered physical therapy assistant was sentenced to serve 30 months in prison for signing false medical records that were used by her employer to submit false claims to Medicare. The physical therapy assistant, Hetal Barot, was also sentenced to serve two years of supervised release and ordered to pay $1.3 million in restitution. According to court documents, the physical therapy assistant signed false medical records at four home health care companies: Physicians Choice Home Health Care LLC, First Care Home Health Care LLC, Quantum Home Care Inc., and Moonlite Home Care Inc. The false medical records included evaluations, therapy revisit notes, and other medical documentation memorializing physical therapy for patients that she did not actually see or treat. These records were used to submit false claims to Medicare for reimbursement. Medicare paid the four home health companies a total of $13.8 million. Of that amount, Medicare paid approximately $1,336,739 based on false files and notes signed by this physical therapy assistant. The court therefore ordered her to pay restitution of $1.3 million, even though that money was paid to her employer and not to the physical therapy assistant herself. This is another tragic example of what you should never do if you are employed as a healthcare professional or provider. Instead of going to prison, this physical therapy assistant could have collected a reward of up to $4 million and avoided a criminal conviction if she had consulted an experienced Medicare fraud lawyer. The False Claims Act contains a qui tam provision that allows an individual to earn a reward for helping the government stop Medicare and Medicaid fraud. The reward ranges from 15% to 30% of the amount of money the government actually recovers. In this case, the reward could have been as much as $4 million. When an individual agrees to help the government fight fraud under this law, they are also eligible for legal protection as a healthcare fraud whistleblower. Unfortunately, too many employees go along with their employer’s instructions or requests because they do not realize that they could end up in prison or that they have an alternative. Do not go to prison for your employer’s fraud. If you are asked to authorize treatment that is not medically necessary or to sign patient records that are not true, then you should consult with an experienced Medicare and Medicaid fraud attorney immediately. The consultation is free and confidential. You can schedule your consultation by calling John Howley, Esq. at (917) 652-6504 or simply click here to reach our office via email. John Howley, Esq.

The owner of an ambulance company and her son have been indicted on Medicare and Medicaid fraud charges that could result in prison sentences of 20 years or more. Phyllis Harrell and her son, Paul Trueblood, are accused of conspiring to defraud Medicare and Medicaid by filing false claims for non-emergency ambulance transportation services. The indictment alleges that their ambulance company, Harrell Medical Transport, used wheelchair vans to transport Medicare and Medicaid beneficiaries to routine medical appointments on a weekly basis, but then billed Medicare and Medicaid at higher rates by claiming that the transportation had been provided in ambulances. The indictment alleges that mother and son created or caused to be created false medical records to make it appear as though the patients had traveled by ambulance. The indictment also alleges that they caused employees of Harrell Medical Transport to omit material information in medical records concerning the ability of patients to walk and ride in wheelchairs, which affects whether Medicare and Medicaid will pay for ambulance transportation. This case demonstrates the large number of crimes that can be charged in a Medicare or Medicaid fraud case. The indictment charges 68 counts against the defendants, including:
If convicted, the ambulance company owner and her son each face up to 20 years in prison for Conspiracy, 10 years in prison for Health Care Fraud, 20 years in prison for each count of Wire Fraud, 5 years in prison for each count of Making False Statements Relating to Health Care Matters, 10 years in prison for Conducting Transactions in Criminally Derived Property, and 5 years in prison for each count of Making Material False Statements. They also face up to a $250,000 fine on each count in the Indictment and mandatory restitution. This is merely an indictment, and the defendants are presumed innocent until proven guilty. They may have explanations or defenses. The government may not be able to prove their case. They may negotiate a settlement or plea agreement to substantially reduced charges and penalties. If you are under investigation or have been charged with Medicare or Medicaid fraud, or if you have been asked to falsify medical records or make false statements, then you should consult with an experienced Medicare and Medicaid fraud attorney immediately. A competent defense lawyer will help you understand the charges and prepare your defense. Your lawyer may be able to reduce the charges by negotiating with the prosecutor. He may be able to convince a court to dismiss the charges. And if you are not the actual perpetrator of the fraud, you may even be eligible to avoid prosecution and earn a reward by helping the government stop the fraud. Do not delay.
