The U.S. Attorney’s Office has reported multiple cases of healthcare fraud, with two individuals from Arizona pleading guilty to a $3.3 million Medicaid scam. The Mesa clinic owners were involved in fraudulent activities that exploited Medicaid for financial gain. Additionally, a New York health insurer has agreed to a settlement of up to $100 million related to Medicare fraud, which involved improper diagnoses and pressure on doctors to endorse these diagnoses. This follows a broader scrutiny of healthcare lead generators and marketers by the Federal Trade Commission (FTC), particularly as open enrollment begins, highlighting ongoing concerns about fraudulent practices in the healthcare sector. Furthermore, a former employee of the Maryland Department of Labor has been sentenced to prison for insurance fraud and theft schemes.
