The FBI arrested a Dallas physician for healthcare fraud.  According to the indictment, the physician was responsible for over $375 million in fraudulent billings.  The physician and his office assistant allegedly obtained signatures from random individuals, including homeless people who were each paid $50, in order to bill for services that were never provided.  Over five years, the doctor amassed more Medicare beneficiaries than any other medical practice in the United States.

Owners of three home health agencies allegedly associated with Dr. Roy’s scheme were also indicted.  Seventy-eight home health agencies who worked with Dr. Roy will be suspended from participating in Medicare for up to 18 months.
