Owner of Medicare Billing Service Sentenced to 10 Years In Prison For Role in $170 Million Medicare Fr...(program that provides essential health s...),Health

"The rampant billing fraud perpetrated by this defendant squandered millions of dollars in scarce Medicare resources. The health care fraud epidemic in South Florida must stop, and the U.S. Attorney's Office will continue to aggressively investigate and prosecute these cases." said U.S. Attorney R. Alexander Acosta.

FBI Special Agent in Charge Jonathan I. Solomon said, "The sentence in this case dispels the myth that white collar crime defendants get off lightly. It reinforces the message that health care fraud - stealing from U.S. taxpayers - is a serious crime. The FBI will continue to combat health care fraud by helping put these criminals behind bars where they belong."

The case was prosecuted by Trial Attorney Hank Bond Walther of the Criminal Division's Fraud Section, with the investigative assistance of the FBI. The Campos case is part of broader investigations by the Medicare Fraud Strike Force into HIV infusion fraud in the south Florida area. The Strike Force is led by Deputy Chief Kirk Ogrosky of the Criminal Division's Fraud Section and the office of U.S. Attorney R. Alexander Acosta of the Southern District of Florida.
