Federal prosecutors in Los Angeles have charged 15 alleged medical fraudsters, including doctors, for making bogus claims to government and private health care programs, including $1.6 billion billed in a sham rehab case. Among the arrests are cardiothoracic surgeon Dr. Harold Tabaie and chiropractor Hany Malek, who allegedly operated in an alleged $135 million Medicare fraud scheme out of their Los Angeles clinics. The defendants allegedly billed for the procedure under the names of other medical providers who did not actually perform the surgeries.
