Two men have been indicted by a federal grand jury on charges of conspiracy to commit health care fraud and charges of health care fraud, in Atlanta, Georgia. Hezron Collie, 29, of Atlanta and Varian Scott, 35, of Miami, Florida; were charged in connection with a forged prescription scheme that billed more than $1 million to Georgia Medicaid. United States Attorney David E. Nahmias stated in a press release posted on the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) website that the indictment results from the hard work and cooperation of state, local and federal agencies. Mr. Nahmias went on to say that people who cheat Medicaid are really cheating American taxpayers. It is the taxpayer that bears the financial loss for this kind of fraud. Thurbert Baker, Georgia Attorney General stated that Medicaid fraud strips away resources from a system designed for people in need. Mr. Baked vowed that his office would continue to work along with federal law agencies to target the criminals who cheat the system and to protect the taxpayers and the Medicaid system from fraud. According to the information presented in court, Collie, Scott and others obtained blank prescription pads from the Emory University Winship Cancer Institute and two other doctors. The men obtained the pads between September 2005 and April 2006. Allegedly, the defendants obtained names and personal information, including dates of birth and Georgia Medicaid numbers, from dozens of people. The defendants allegedly used the information from dozens of people to forge multiple prescriptions for Neupogen and other medications used in treatment of cancer and AIDS. The forged prescriptions were presented to pharmacies throughout the Atlanta area, including Walgreens, Publix, CVS, Eckerd and Kroger. Allegedly, Collie and Scott also recruited an employee of at least one of the pharmacies to help facilitate the scheme. The pharmacy employee has pleaded guilty and is cooperating with authorities. As a result of this prescription fraud, the Georgia Medicaid system has been billed about $1.1 million for the medications that Collie and Scott obtained fraudulently. Reportedly, the doctors and pharmacies are cooperating with authorities in the investigation. The indictment charges Collie and Scott with 20 counts of health care fraud and one count of conspiracy to commit health care fraud. The charges have a maximum prison sentence of 10 years and a $250,000 fine per count. Charges of a crime are allegations. Defendants are presumed innocent until proven guilty.
