A sentence of 42 months in federal prison has been given to an optometrist who admitted to Medicare fraud. The optometrist, Helen Boerman, used her practice to submit claims for wound care products that were not actually purchased or used. She split products intended for single use and sought reimbursement for new products. Boerman admitted to submitting approximately $11 million in false claims and receiving about $6.9 million.
She also made false claims to other health programs. The scheme involved creating false records to support the claims. Further details of the case are available from the source.
