California Hospice Owner ARRESTED As FBI EXPOSES $27M Medicare Scam Using DEAD Patients &Rolls-Royce

Описание: A hospice owner in Los Angeles is accused of paying a mortuary worker $1,000 to $3,000 for every dead patient's name, then billing Medicare for care those people never received.

According to a federal indictment, Oren David Shachar, 59, owned four hospices in Valley Glen, Montclair, Encino and Glendale. Prosecutors say he signed up Medicare patients who were not dying and paid them up to $400 a month in cash, plus groceries, alcohol, televisions and reclining armchairs, to stay enrolled.

To keep Medicare from noticing, prosecutors say he bought the identities of people who had just died at home from a funeral home employee, then had a nurse and a doctor create backdated records saying the patients had been seen while they were still alive. Grieving relatives were asked to sign enrollment papers at the funeral home.

Prosecutors say his hospices billed Medicare about $27.7 million and were paid about $26.9 million. In September 2024, $15,000 was wired from one of his hospices toward a lease-to-own Rolls-Royce Phantom.

Shachar faces 16 counts, including health care fraud, aggravated identity theft, illegal kickbacks and money laundering. Co-defendants Jeannie Choi and Abraham Shin are also charged. Shachar and Shin pleaded not guilty. All three are presumed innocent until proven guilty in court.
