在特朗普政府打击欺诈的最新行动中，司法部周二公布了对455人的指控，这些人涉嫌参与医疗欺诈和阿片类药物滥用阴谋。
司法部周二宣布，这些被告包括90名医生和其他医疗专业人员，他们涉及价值65亿美元的欺诈活动，这些活动涉及虚假索赔，并对患者造成了严重伤害。
“这仅仅是个开始。欺诈者再也不能骗取美国纳税人的钱财了，”代理司法部长托德·布兰奇在周二的新闻发布会上表示。“如果你们企图伤害或欺骗美国人，我们将找到你们，没收所有资产，并依照法律的最高限度起诉你们。”
官员们重点提到了一名被告，据称该名被告未告知家属一名学生的心脏肿大，却在其心血管检测报告上盖章认定结果正常。这名18岁的大学篮球运动员凯登·弗朗西斯（Kaiden Francis）在几周后的一次训练中死亡。
创纪录的45个州和地区参与了今年的全国医疗欺诈整治行动，卫生部长小罗伯特·F·肯尼迪在新闻发布会上提到了这一点。特朗普政府在多个主要由民主党领导的州打击医疗保险和医疗补助欺诈，导致这些州的州长指控其存在政治偏见。
本届政府尤其专注于打击医疗欺诈。负责医疗保险和医疗补助服务中心的穆罕默德·奥兹博士（Dr. Mehmet Oz）是这项行动的主要负责人之一——他利用自己的电视从业背景，在他声称是欺诈重灾区的地区拍摄视频。该机构正致力于在虚假索赔支付前阻止款项发放。
“医疗欺诈窃取纳税人的钱财，剥削弱势患者，并危及生命，”肯尼迪在一份声明中表示。
此次案件涉及欺诈性伤口护理索赔，其中一家亚利桑那公司获得了20亿美元的医疗保险付款，德克萨斯州的一起欺诈计划则涉及9.06亿美元。在另一起案件中，加利福尼亚州的一名临终关怀机构所有者 allegedly 向一名殡仪馆员工支付费用，以获取最近逝者的信息，从而虚假向医疗保险申领数天的临终关怀服务费用。
此次整治行动还包括对295名被告的指控，以及超过5.18亿美元的虚假医疗补助索赔——这是司法部历史上被指控人数最多、欺诈损失资金最高的一次行动。
去年，司法部在年度整治行动中起诉了324名被告，涉及据称高达146亿美元的欺诈案件。

In the Trump administration’s latest effort to crack down on fraud, the Justice Department on Tuesday unveiled charges against 455 people for their alleged participation in healthcare fraud and opioid abuse schemes.
The defendants, who included 90 doctors and other healthcare professionals, were involved in $6.5 billion worth of fraud that involved false claims and resulted in significant harm to patients, the Justice Department announced Tuesday.
“This is just the beginning. Fraudsters can no longer rip off American taxpayers,” Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche said at a press conference Tuesday. “If you seek to harm or cheat Americans, we will find you, seize any assets and prosecute you to the fullest extent of the law.”
Officials highlighted one defendant who they claim rubber stamped a student’s cardiovascular test as normal without alerting the family that his heart was enlarged. The 18-year-old college basketball player, Kaiden Francis, died weeks later during a workout.
A record 45 states and territories participated in this year’s National Health Care Fraud Takedown, which Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. noted during the press conference. The Trump administration has clamped down on Medicare and Medicaid fraud in several, primarily Democratic-led states, leading their governors to claim political bias.
The administration has been particularly focused on healthcare fraud. Dr. Mehmet Oz, who runs the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services, has been one of the leading players — drawing on his TV background to film videos in areas he claims are hotspots for fraud. The agency is looking to stop payments for fraudulent claims before they are made.
“Healthcare fraud steals from taxpayers, exploits vulnerable patients and puts lives at risk,” Kennedy said in a statement.
The cases included fraudulent wound care claims, which resulted in $2 billion in Medicare payments to one Arizona company and another $906 million scheme in Texas. In another case, one California hospice owner allegedly paid a funeral home employee for information about the recently deceased to fraudulently bill Medicare for a few days of hospice services.
The takedown also included charges against 295 defendants and more than $518 million in false claims submitted to Medicaid — the largest number of people charged and funds lost to fraud in the Justice Department’s history.
Last year, the Justice Department charged 324 defendants with more than $14.6 billion in alleged fraud during its annual takedown effort.
