The Medicare Fraud Strike Force, part of the Health Care Fraud Prevention & Enforcement Team, on Thursday charged 111 nurses, doctors, healthcare company owners and executives in nine cities with participation in Medicare fraud schemes involving more than $225 million in false billing.
The results of the operation, announced jointly by the Department of Justice, Department of Health and Human Services and FBI, represent the largest-ever federal healthcare fraud takedown, according to the FBI.
