The Department of Justice charged thirteen individuals, including five doctors, a chiropractor, three licensed physical and occupational therapists, and two pharmacy owners for their participation in fraudulent schemes in connection with which Medicare and Medicaid programs were billed more than $163 million.  The charges filed in federal court in Brooklyn and Central Islip, New York, are part of a nationwide healthcare fraud takedown, led by the Medicare Fraud Strike Force, which resulted in criminal charges against 601 individuals for their alleged participation in healthcare fraud schemes involving approximately $2 billion in fraudulent claims.
