DETROIT (AP) — More than 700 people have filed claims for payment in the case of a Detroit-area doctor who put patients through needless cancer treatments.
Federal Judge Paul Borman got an update Tuesday from the government and a contractor hired to handle claims. No money has been paid yet.
Farid Fata is serving a 45-year prison sentence. The government has collected $13 million from him, although a whistleblower will get a share.
Anyone who was a Fata patient between 2005 and 2013 can file a claim for out-of-pocket expenses, such as co-payments and deductibles. There also will be money for a portion of funeral expenses.
