A Texas doctor, Dr. Hector Ubaldo, has been convicted of accepting over $200,000 in kickbacks for directing patient blood and urine samples to specific labs, which then billed insurance companies and Medicare for tests. Ubaldo engaged in fraudulent medical advisory agreements to disguise these kickbacks. He was caught on video accepting cash and now faces up to 15 years in federal prison after being found guilty of conspiracy to pay and receive healthcare kickbacks.
