Conspiracy to Commit Wire Fraud, Money Laundering, and Federal Telemedicine Fraud / Health Care Fraud as part of a nationwide DOJ enforcement action involving medically unnecessary compounded prescriptions billed to federal health benefit programs, including Tricare.
Federal prosecutors in the Southern District of Florida charged eleven individuals in a telemedicine fraud scheme tied to medically unnecessary compounded prescriptions. The government alleged that defendants recruited patients insured by federal health benefit programs and caused fraudulent prescriptions to be submitted at reimbursement rates far above standard drug costs.
Counsel isolated the client's conduct from the broader conspiracy, built a mitigation case tailored to the client's actual role, and negotiated directly with federal prosecutors for a plea to a single count rather than a broader fraud package.
