HEALTH CARE FRAUD

 

 

Case: CEO and CFO indicted for conspiring to defraud the Medicare program of about $800,000 by submitting false claims to the federal government and accused of billing Medicare for seminars (including meal costs) that were ineligible for payment. 
Outcome: Federal jury acquittal of both corporate officers; this is the only instance in which a Tampa attorney has ever cleared a defendant of health care fraud charges.
