A series of fraud cases in the healthcare sector have led to significant legal actions. The owner of a Chicago laboratory has been charged with defrauding Medicare in a $60 million COVID-19 test kit scheme, as announced by the DOJ. Additionally, Laura Perryman, the former CEO of Stimwave, was sentenced to six years in prison for creating and selling a fake medical device component, which doctors were told could claim $18,000 for implanting. In another case, prosecutors have recommended a 15-year prison sentence for Rishi Shah, the former CEO of Outcome Health, who was convicted of orchestrating a billion-dollar fraud scheme. Two other former executives of Outcome Health should serve 10 years. Furthermore, a New York woman has pleaded guilty to a COVID-19 vaccine card fraud scheme.
