- Pending Government Action:United States of America v. Ridhima Singh and Amity Home Health Care, Inc.
On September 3, 2019, the Northern District of California’s U.S. Attorney’s Office filed a criminal complaint against Ridhima (Amanda) Singh and Amity Home Health Care, Inc. (Amity) Case No: 31971430.
The criminal complaint alleges that, “The defendants participated in the Patients-For-Cash Kickback Scheme where by Amity Home Health Care, under the leadership of Chief Executive Officer Ridhima “Amanda” Singh, paid kickbacks to marketers, doctors, and other medical professionals in exchange for the certification or referral of patients for home health or hospice services.”
The criminal complaints allege that, Amity and some of its employees bribed individuals associated with hospitals, skilled nursing facilities, and doctors’ offices to induce those individuals to send patients to Amity and Advent Care, Inc. Amity and the other defendants often disguised the kickbacks as payroll, phony medical directorships, and, at other times, as “entertainment,” “reimbursements,” “gifts, or “donations.”
In the case of Amity, Singh and her employees allegedly compensated these professionals in cash for each patient referral and for making introductions to physicians, case managers, or other health care professionals who could refer patients.
Singh allegedly instructed marketers to take clients out to elaborate meals, sporting events, and purchase gifts for individuals willing to provide Amity with patients, mainly Medicare patients. When patient referrals were slow, Singh allegedly directed the marketer to incentivize clients with gifts in an effort to induce them to refer more patients to Amity.
The case is currently pending.
