Fed probe uncovers $30M health services fraud tied to luxury-car seizures

Federal authorities say they busted a $30 million fraud conspiracy that billed for children’s behavioral health services that were never provided; 14 luxury cars, including a Maserati, Mercedes, Bentley and McLaren, were seized as prosecutors allege the ringleaders diagnosed every recipient with a behavioral adjustment disorder to bill Medicaid, while no assessments or care were ever delivered. Four defendants turned themselves in as the DOJ’s anti-fraud task force pursued charges, highlighting a scheme that exploited vulnerable youths attending camps and programs.
