Muslim Doctors Alleged Masterminds of Largest Medical Fraud in U.S. History: $1.3 Billion

48

The U.S. Justice Department has arrested 412 nationwide for what its calling as the largest opioid prescription drug and health care fraud in all of U.S. history — totalling $1.3 billion in bogus dealings.

And guess what?

The biggest medical fraud in American history is unfolding before our eyes — and it’s Muslims in Michigan who have been identified by investigators as the main perps.

A group of Michigan doctors — Muslim Michigan doctors — have been fingered by investigators as the brains behind the scheme.

Story continues below advertisement

This isn’t something you’ll read in the mainstream newspapers.

Creeping Sharia has it, though:

Officials have made 412 arrests nationwide, including 56 doctors and targeting 200 clinics. …

Federal officials said a group of Michigan doctors was responsible for a major chunk of the scheme.

One of the clinics hit in the sting operations is in Farmington. Federal officials said the opioid epidemic is part of it, but the medical office and a number of others were set up specifically as a criminal enterprise to rip off Medicare.

Federal officers raided the Fisher Building Wednesday, and U.S. Attorney General Jeff Sessions said their work accounted for 10 percent of the scam’s value.

“Six doctors in Michigan prescribed patients with unnecessary opioids, some of which ended up for sale on the streets,” Sessions said.

A physician group called Global Quality used to operate out of a Woodward Avenue office building.

A West Bloomfield man was named the ring leader.

Mashiyat Rashid is accused of being the ring leader in scamming Medicare for $164 million. Rashid had no problem displaying his significant wealth on Facebook, where pictures show him standing in front of a Bentley sedan and a corporate jet. He also has pictures of himself and a friend courtside at the NBA Finals.

Rashid is not a doctor, but the doctors named in the case are Joseph Betro, Spilios Pappas, Abdul Haq, Tariz Omar and Mohammad Zahoor.

Federal officials indicted suspects a week ago and they’ve already been arraigned.

More than 400 people across the country were charged Thursday for taking part in health care fraud and opioid scams including six Michigan doctors in connection with a raid Wednesday at the Fisher Building in Detroit.

This is massive — historical.

And what’s sad is that while media outlets around the nation are reporting on the opioid scandal, they’re not focusing on the Muslim tie. They’re reporting as if the prescriptions were the problem.

Again, Creeping Sharia has more:

The six Michigan defendants are:

Mashiyat Rashid, of Oakland County – controlled, owned or operated Global Quality, Aqua Therapy, Tri-County Physicians, Tri-State Physicians, New Center Medical, National Laboratories, and Tri-County Wellness;

Yasser Mozeb, of Oakland County – allegedly received payments from Global Quality and Tri-County Wellness;
Abdul Haq, of Washtenaw County, physician enrolled as a participating provider with Medicare for Aqua Therapy, Tri-County Physicians and Tri-State Physicians;

Joseph Betro, of Oakland County, physician enrolled as a participating provider with Medicare for Tri-County Physicians and New Center Medical;

Tariz Omar, of Oakland County, physician enrolled as a participating provider with Medicare for Tri-County Physicians.

Mohammed Zahoor, of Oakland County, physician enrolled as a participating provider with Medicare for Tri-County Physicians.

The defendants are charged with five counts of health care fraud and health care fraud conspiracy. Rashid and Mozeb are charged with conspiracy to defraud the United States and pay and receive health care kickbacks. Rashid is charged with money laundering, receipt of kickbacks in connection with a federal health care program and payment of kickbacks in connection with federal health care program.

Authorities say Rashid and his co-conspirators engaged in illegal kickbacks and billing for medically unnecessary joint injections, drug screenings and home health services.

Investigators believe Rashid’s companies’ fraudulently billed Medicare $126 million. Approximately $1.3 billion is believed to have been fraudulently billed in scams across the country.

Michigan Attorney General Bill Schuette charged three people including two dentists with Medicaid fraud in connection to the massive healthcare fraud takedown.

More, Schuette charges 3 people, including 2 Michigan dentists, with Medicaid fraud

Najah Roumayah, 71, of West Bloomfield, and David Dickey, 67, of Camden, were both charged with Medicaid fraud-false claim. More News Headlines Federal agents raid offices at the Fisher Building on Wednesday, July 12, 2017, in Downtown Detroit.

Marie Denard, 31, of Macomb, was charged with 25 counts of Medicaid fraud-false claim and one count of false pretenses.

Roumayah allegedly billed Medicaid for dental services not performed between 2012 and 2016. Roumayah’s dental practice is located in Berkley, Michigan.

There’s always one apple in the bunch, that doesn’t know what’s going on. Yes, I supported Trump, from the time he was elected, to about a month after. Now, I see there’s about 50 muslim training camps in this country, he has NOT done a thing about, or said a word about. Islam is being taught in grade schools all across the country. Has he done anything, or said anything about that? NO! And, since I pay attention, I’ll share with you my collection of what Trump is supposedly doing to make America Great Again…you think he’s doing a great job cleaning up America?

The real problem is our welfare state and the politicians that enable it! Any politician that votes for or encourages ANY welfare program should be executed for treason. Our constitution specifically protects and our politicians pledge to uphold said constitutional purpose in protecting PERSONAL PROPERTY. For a politician to take property from one citizen and give it to another, in exchange for their vote, is criminal and arguably treasonous. Execute the bastards

This will NEVER change.

That’s what’s so stupid about, “Well most Muslims are just decent people like everybody else.”

We Infidels have that old saying, “A few bad apples can rot the whole barrel.” and look at the police system we need to dig our own bad apples out of our barrels.

EVERY Muslim country I’ve been to, all of which dictatorships, generations have been raised under centuries of governments and legal systems that are absolutely, totally, 100% bribably corrupt.

How can you expect anybody raise there to comprehend that life is anything other than dog eat dog system where you must bribe, cheat and lie your way through to survive.

So when they come here, to place where all you have to do is fill out a few forms every once in a while, and the government sends you money, they think they hit the mother lode.

and because Islam teaches it their sacred duty anyways, to seize Infidel property, far more Muslims, than practioners of other faiths, will think there’s nothing wrong with using taqiyya to obtain what is “rightfully” theirs.

Ask yourselves how many “Moderate Muslims” hate Israel, and think beating their wives is okay, and that’s probably close to the number of Muslims who have lied on our official forms to steal our tax dollars.

Definite problem and another reason to attack the ‘poor muslim’ theme the media so enjoys.

However, there is plenty of blame to go around in various healthcare frauds (hard numbers and what they mean are difficult to pinpoint once the politicians finish covering for their donors):

HealthSouth – exact number is cloudy but estimates go to around 2.6 billion of fraudulent profits
Columbia/HCA – $1.7 billion fine
Johnson & Johnson – $2.2 billion settlement
Pfizer – $2.3 billion settlement
GlaxoSmithKline – $3 billion settlement

Just think what the government will be able to scam once they have complete control of the healthcare system

I worked in the area of medical fraud investigation for 10 years and the vast majority of doctors guilty of fraud and or abuse were Middle Eastern foreign medical graduates, and most were Muslims. This is something that has been going on for years but no one speaks about it.

Scumbag “devout” doctors like that will let patients go untreated or die if they are not muslamists if they can get away with it. Not only do they not assimilate but they alienate. They will attempt to take over everything they do.

Also it seems not only are the challenges in schools related to religion but its coming to a head in healthcare and the future is going to get interesting with the muslamists. The adm deserves a lot of credit for bringing in this “mafia”.

Its also good thing the republicans are going to replace even more of the supreme court. Check the link on atheists trying to go against their oath as providers.
