Telugu Americ@n nurse practit!oner gets 20 years jail in USD 52 million healthcare fraud

[kidney]

A Waxahachie, Texas, nurse practitioner has been sentenced to 20 years in federal prison and ordered to repay more than $52 million in restitution for his role in a healthcare and insurance fraud scheme, according to Acting U.S. Attorney for the Northern District of Texas Prerak Shah.

Trivikram Reddy, 39, pleaded guilty to conspiracy to commit wire fraud in October 2020. He had been accused of engaging in a scheme to defrauded Medicare and private insurance providers.

According to court documents, Reddy, a licensed nurse practitioner, devised a scheme to defraud Medicare, Blue Cross Blue Shield of Texas, Aetna, UnitedHealthcare, Humana and Cigna.

According to the U.S. Attorney’ Office, Reddy and co-conspirators created false patient bills using the provider numbers of six doctors as the treating physicians on the claims. All the claims were false and at no time did the six doctors provide billable services to any of Reddy’s medical clinics.

On June 3, 2019, federal agents served a civil investigative demand at one of Reddy’s medical clinics. When law enforcement arrived at the site, agents found Reddy’s staff manufacturing medical records. Following the encounter, on June 8, Reddy closed the clinic and terminated his business entity with the Texas Secretary of State, the justice department said.

On June 13, 2019, Reddy made the first of multiple wire transfers which, in sum, totaled more than $55 million. A forensic financial analysis directly tied the money to fraudulent health care claims submitted by Reddy.

Federal agents requested medical records to justify millions of dollars of paid Medicare claims paid between January 2014 and June 2019. Reddy and his staff spent the next four months manufacturing fake medical records to turn over to authorities.

This case was investigated by the FBI Dallas Field office and Health and Human Services-Office of the Inspector General (HHS-OIG). Assistant U.S. Attorney Donna Strittmatter Max and Special Assistant U.S. Attorney Matt Smid prosecuted the case.

On June 3, 2019, special agents from the Health and Human Services’ Office of Inspector General showed up unannounced at one of his clinics and found several staff members in the process of manufacturing medical records, prosecutors said.

Some of the employees were hiding and gave false names, according to testimony from an FBI agent.

10 days later, Reddy transferred $43 million to his mother in Mumbai, India, and his wife, mother and child left for India the same day, the agent said.

Reddy soon closed the clinics.

A judge ordered Reddy to repay the $52 million he stole.

The special agent in charge of HHS OIG’s Dallas office said she is optimistic the money can be recovered even though it was transferred overseas.

“We do have confidence,” said the agent, Miranda Bennett. “We are pursuing those funds.”

She described the investigation as one of the largest of its kind in North Texas.

“It’s a pretty staggering amount of money,” Bennett said.
