DETROIT (AP) — Federal authorities say the owner of two home health care companies has pleaded guilty to Medicare and tax fraud charges as part of a case that’s netted 10 other guilty pleas or convictions.
Mohammed Sadiq, 67, entered the plea last Friday in U.S. District Court in Detroit. He’s set to be sentenced June 18.
Federal investigators say Sadiq admitted that he and others created and operated the companies to bill Medicare for services he knew weren’t provided.
He also admitted to creating fake patient files to appear as though services were provided and necessary.
Sadiq says in the plea that he received $12.6 million from Medicare in the scheme.
The case is part of the government’s Medicare Fraud Strike Force, established in 2007.
