Summary
The Justice Department just launched a massive crackdown, charging over 450 healthcare professionals nationwide for prescription drug fraud totaling more than $6.5 billion—harming patients and stealing from Medicare and Medicaid. In Hawaii, pharmacist Henry Quan faces charges for billing $1.5 million in fake prescriptions, while Phyllis Rooney is accused of defrauding Nebraska Medicaid of $92,000 through nonexistent mental health services. U.S. Attorney Ken Sorenson warned that greed and negligence will be met with justice, as the department zeroes in on those exploiting healthcare for profit.
