California Attorney General v. 21 Suspects

21 suspects were charged with conspiracy to commit health care fraud, health care fraud, money laundering, and identity theft, allegedly defrauding California of $267 million through a hospice fraud scheme. According to California Attorney General Rob Bonta, not a single legitimate hospice service was ever provided yet millions were billed in a brazen, calculated scheme that exploited the Medi-Cal system, using stolen identities of non-California residents to enroll them in Medi-Cal through Covered California and then billing for hospice services through 14 purchased hospice companies.
