U.S. Attorney Barbara McQuade said the guilty verdicts should put the health care community on notice.
“Law enforcement investigators in metro Detroit are aggressively investigating health care fraud and detecting abuses by doctors and pharmacists,” McQuade said in announcing the verdict. “We hope that prosecutions like this one will deter medical professionals from stealing taxpayer funds intended for health care.”
According to trial evidence, the ringleader of the scheme was Canton pharmacist Babubhai Patel, the owner of more than 20 metro Detroit pharmacies, who paid cash kickbacks to doctors in exchange for them writing prescriptions for expensive pills, regardless of whether they were needed.
