February 15, 2014
The Department of Health and Human Services added a
high-dollar Democratic donor to its list of most-wanted fugitives on Friday in
connection with a widespread scheme of alleged Medicare and Medicaid fraud.
Dr. Yousef Kurdy owned and operated a California
business called the Broadway
Medical Center .
He was arrested on charges of fraud, aggravated identity theft, aiding and
abetting, criminal forfeiture, tax evasion, and violations of anti-kickback
laws in January of 2012.
According to investigators,
Kurdy fraudulently billed Medicare and Medi-Cal ,
California ’s state Medicaid
agency, over $150,000 for fictional patient visits.
“Investigators believe that Kurdy billed for office visits
on dates that he was out of town, was attending continuing medical education
classes, the patients were out of town, or the patients were deceased,” HHS
inspector general said.
