Community Mental Health Centers: A Case Study (Room Seaport B)

Federal agents present a recent case study of one of the largest health care fraud schemes to date involving three Community Mental Health Centers in Louisiana and Texas which resulted in seventeen criminal convictions and restitution orders in excess of $43 million. These three facilities combined billed Medicare more than $258 million and were paid over $51 million over a seven year period. Faculty will provide tips on various investigative techniques they used, as well as road blocks they encountered when investigating behavioral health care.
