The U.S. Department of Justice announced Monday that four people and one company have recently pleaded guilty in a telemedicine pharmacy healthcare-fraud conspiracy that allegedly lasted for years.
The group was charged with a conspiracy to defraud pharmacy benefit managers out of $174,202,105 by submitting $931,356,936 for fraudulent prescriptions purchased from a telemarketing company. Telemarketing fraud is a major threat to the integrity of government and commercial insurance programs, said Derrick L. Jackson, special agent in charge at the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services Office of Inspector General in Atlanta. After improperly soliciting patient information, these marketing companies obtained approvals through contracted telemedicine prescribers, then sold those costly prescriptions to pharmacies in exchange for kickbacks, Jackson continued.
