The National Fraud Enforcement Division of the Department of Justice (DOJ) announced on May 8 that it had carried out enforcement actions across the United States worth nearly $1 billion.
The crackdown targeted multiple crimes committed by several individuals. The biggest scheme involved two men who sought to defraud Medicaid, Medicare, and private health insurance companies by submitting more than $522 million in fake claims for medically unnecessary genetic tests, the DOJ said in a statement on May 8.
