The Department of Justice just released a statement, announcing the conviction of a man at the center of a giant, billion-dollar medicaid fraud scheme.

Specifically, Mr. Brett Blackman, the CEO and owner of a software company called HealthSplash was just convicted in federal court for his part in a sprawling fraud scheme. This scheme involved using foreign telemarketers to aggressively call elderly Americans, get their medicaid beneficiary numbers, push medical devices onto them that they did not really need (random things like orthotic braces), then he would generate fraudulent doctors orders for those devices.
Then, he would pass on the scripts in return for illegal kickbacks to both suppliers and pharmacies involved in the scam, who would then turn around and bill Medicare (i.e. the federal government) for these prescriptions.

In total, Mr. Blackman (alongside his co-conspirators) billed Medicare a total of over $1 billion dollars, and were actually reimbursed roughly $450 million.

Let’s go through the details together.
