Clinic Owner and 4 medical professionals get prison sentence

Flushing, NY

According to US Attorney, Eastern District, the owner of a medical clinic, out of flushing New York, got a 42 months prison sentence for defrauding medicaire. Others got 16, 13, a year and a day and eight months. The clinic was located in korea town.The names are Korean sounding. So what did they do wrong? They billed medicaire for un necessary treatments, allowed unlicensed persons to give massages, or even billed for services not rendered. Basically they stole from the government in the amount of 4 million dollars . The problem is that when you steal from the government and the government finds out, which is usually the case, the government bites back with jail and fines.

These guys are lucky they did not get relatively long sentences. At Fort Dix, one guy I met, Jerome Feldman, got 15 years for medicare fraud.
