Description: Texarkana criminal lawyer represented Defendant charged with Health Care Kickback Conspiracy.
“Taxpayers deserve to have their tax dollars spent judiciously and within the confines of appropriate laws and rules. The intentional failure to do so breeds a lack of confidence in valuable processes that ensure efficient use of money for the benefit our citizens,” said Brit Featherston, U.S. Attorney. “Kickback arrangements like these add costs, not value. Unfortunately, those costs were borne by American taxpayers. This case sends a message that no matter who you are, if you do wrong, you will be found out, and you will be brought to justice. I congratulate the prosecution team on a job very well done.”
“Individuals who participate in kickback schemes compromise the integrity of medical decision-making while increasing health care costs for everyone,” said Acting Special Agent in Charge Mike Stapleton with the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, Office of Inspector General (HHS-OIG). “HHS-OIG will continue to work with our law enforcement partners to investigate such schemes and bring to justice those who steal from these programs for personal gain.”
“The defendant exploited the health care industry by conspiring with others to pay and receive illegal kickbacks in order to enrich himself. The defendant's conduct taints the efforts of hardworking healthcare workers who are dedicated to acting in the best interest of their patients,” said FBI Dallas Special Agent in Charge Matthew DeSarno. “The FBI will continue to work with our public and private sector partners to pursue individuals who exploit patients and insurance holders for their own financial benefit.”
