Federal authorities have charged 300 doctors and clinic owners with fraud under the biggest Medicare clampdown in history, officials announced Wednesday.
The defendants allegedly billed Medicare for fraudulent claims that either weren’t provided or not medically necessary. Some are accused of running scam operations by bribing patients to get services in exchange for narcotics. All together, they billed the federal health insurance program $900 million.
