May 18, 2012 (Press-News.org) Colorado Health Plan Owner Gets 66 Months in Fraud Case

The owner of a Colorado health care company has been sentenced to 66 months in federal prison on health care fraud charges that include mail fraud, embezzlement and money laundering.

The defendant pleaded guilty to several charges, including siphoning off client funds, illegally comingling funds and misleading clients about the amount of backup insurance coverage on their claims. Other common health care fraud charges include:
-Billing for services that were never provided
-Billing for clients who were not treated
-Overbilling for services provided

Health care fraud can take many different forms and may result in serious consequences for the individuals, businesses and health care providers involved. Doctors and nurses accused of committing health care fraud also risk losing their professional licenses and, therefore, their careers.

In Colorado and across the nation, health care fraud has grown rapidly in recent years, with 9news.com reporting an 800 percent increase between 2007 and 2009 alone. With the public spotlight turned increasingly toward health care fraud, enforcement efforts are likely to increase. People charged with health care fraud in Colorado should seek advice from a criminal defense attorney experienced in defending clients against charges of health care fraud.
