Pennsylvania and Federal Officials Unveil Major Healthcare Fraud Takedown
Federal and Pennsylvania state officials have announced a significant crackdown on health care fraud, charging 19 individuals with participating in schemes that defrauded Medicare and Medicaid of over $4 million. The fraudulent activities involved billing for services that were never provided, with some claims made for care supposedly delivered while aides or recipients were incarcerated or overseas. The announcement also included the expansion of the Northeast Health Care Fraud Strike Force to Philadelphia, which will unite federal and state agencies to combat health care fraud in Eastern Pennsylvania.
