$28.3 Million Medicare Fraud Scheme May Put Disbarred Attorney Behind Bars
From Ring of Fire:
Medicare fraud results in billions of dollars being stolen from the government each year. It takes a surprising amount of hubris to think that you can charge the government for services that were either never rendered or were unnecessary. Recently that hubris has caught up with a former lawyer Margarita Grishkoff, who for other reasons was disbarred in 1997.
Grishkoff is a 59 year old resident of Charlotte, N.C. and is originally from southwest Florida. She worked with a network of physical therapy clinics and other businesses to submit approximately $28.3 million worth of false claims, of which approximately $14.4 million were paid, to medicare during the period from 2005 through 2009.
