On January 17, 2018, a criminal indictment was filed against Dr. Ashis K. Rakhit and Dr. Jayati Gupta Rakhit in the United States District Court, Northern District of Ohio Eastern Division. The doctors are charged with one count of conspiracy to commit healthcare fraud, 11 counts of health care fraud, six counts of making false statements relating to health care matters, and three counts of distribution of controlled substances.
It is alleged that between 2011 and 2018, the doctors performed unneeded medical procedures, overbilled Medicare and other insurance providers, and illegally distributed medications, specifically opioids, to patients. It is also alleged that the doctors diagnosed false symptoms on patients' records in an effort to perform tests that were not needed, then billed the patients' insurance providers for the unneeded tests.
