The bank account of a testing company in Maryland having $1 Million was frozen by the authorities. The Department of Justice took the step for compensation for the fraud test victims. The company is accused of defrauding at least $43 million in Medicare systems.
An Illinois court received a complaint earlier this month detailing the DOJ and FBI’s seizure of an SK Diagnostics bank account worth over $1.5 million. In addition to many other elements, the lawsuit alleges that the business submitted 471 claims to Medicare for deceased patients and engaged in healthcare fraud totaling at least $43 million.
The first two Maryland citizens complained to authorities in May, claiming that they had been charged for unnecessary COVID-19 testing on their Medicare accounts. Similar reports have come from over 280 locals.
After the complaints, the DOJ and FBI started an investigation into the matter. Now both the authorities are trying to extract the remaining money accumulated from the fraud.
