Dr. Jorge Zamora-Quezada, a rheumatologist in Texas, was sentenced to ten years in prison for orchestrating a healthcare fraud scheme totaling over $118 million. He falsely diagnosed patients with chronic conditions to bill for unnecessary tests and treatments. This scheme involved falsifying medical records and misleading patients into believing they required extensive treatment. The fraudulent activities resulted in over $28 million being paid by insurers while exposing patients to risky and unnecessary medical procedures. Zamora-Quezada was also ordered to forfeit over $28 million in assets, including luxury properties and vehicles.
Zamora-Quezada falsely diagnosed patients, administering toxic medications to defraud Medicare and others, believing they had chronic conditions requiring unnecessary treatments.
The fraudulent diagnoses led patients to think they had life-long conditions needing regular treatment, as Zamora-Quezada ordered unnecessary tests and procedures.
Zamora-Quezada was sentenced to ten years for his role in a scheme involving over $118 million in false claims, along with substantial forfeitures.
After falsifying records to support false diagnoses, Zamora-Quezada was convicted of conspiracy and health care fraud, culminating in significant penalties.
