Faranak Firozan, a senior manager from NVIDIA, has been charged with felony fraud for submitting over 167 fraudulent healthcare claims valued at over $100,000 to the company's health plan. Firozan, known for her expertise in fraud prevention, allegedly fabricated claims between late 2020 and early 2024, changing dates on bills and submitting entirely made-up documents. Cigna flagged her for suspicious activity, prompting a joint investigation by the DA's office. Officials stress the breach of trust by someone in Firozan's position must face accountability due to the wider implications for healthcare costs and consumer trust.
