Pasadena Clinic Implicated in $34 Million Medicare Skin Graft Scam
Federal prosecutors have seized over $2 million from a Pasadena wound care clinic, Expert Wound Care, suspected of defrauding Medicare through false claims for skin grafts. The clinic, operating as St. Victoria Home Care, allegedly received more than $34 million in federal payouts, with claims involving a single patient totaling over $6 million. The investigation, led by the Department of Homeland Security Investigations and the U.S. Secret Service, is part of a broader probe into Medicare-funded wound care fraud. The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) has been tackling fraud in the skin graft and wound care industry, where significant overspending has been identified.
