Houston docs defraud Medicare for $97M with patients 'watching TV, coloring'

A pair of Houston doctors each face a decade or more in federal prison for their roles in a Medicare fraud scheme that netted nearly $100 million.

Mansour Sanjar and Cyrus Sajadi, co-owners of a Houston, Texas, mental health clinic called Spectrum Care P.A., signed off on fraudulent records seeking reimbursement for treatments and services not covered by Medicare, according to the Department of Justice. Some of the patients didn’t even need such treatment, officials said.
