This presentation will detail a fast-paced health care fraud investigation into Dr. Farid Fata, an oncologist arrested in August 2013 on charges of health care fraud (including practices that resulted in patient harm), kickbacks, and money laundering. Presenters will discuss challenges arising from several unique aspects of the case, including: scale (Fata's practice billed $400 million in approximately six years), speed (Fata was arrested just four days after the FBI learned of the allegations), potential disruption of critical patient care, and national media attention. Presenters will outline, in detail, the fraud executed by Dr. Fata that went unchecked for years and the approach taken by investigators to gather an immense amount of information in a short time to secure indictments and eventually a guilty plea.
