Indian-origin doctor Mona Ghosh sentenced to 10 years in prison in US for $2.4 million medical fraud
Dr Mona Ghosh sentenced to 10 years in prison in the US for medical fraud. Indian-American physician Dr Moa Ghosh (OB-GYN) who pleaded guilty last year to the fraud charges has been sentenced to 10 years in prison for the $2.4 million medical fraud that she committed through her medical office. The 52-year-old submitted fraudulent claims to insurers for procedures which were not medically necessary, including endometrial ablations and biopsies, ultrasounds, vaccinations, laboratory blood tests, and tests for sexually transmitted diseases. The practice went on from 2018 to 2022. Ghosh inflated the length and complexity of in-office and telemedicine visits and submitted claims using billing codes for which the visits did not qualify in order to seek higher reimbursement rates. Ghosh prepared false patient medical records to support the fraudulent reimbursement claims. 'When physicians submit fraudulent claims to federal health care programs, they divert taxpayer-funded resources away from those who truly need them,' said US Attorney Boutros. 'Dr Ghosh's fraud scheme was particularly egregious because she endangered the health of her patients by performing unnecessary medical procedures, including procedures that severely limited some patients' ability to have children in the future. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Giao dịch vàng CFDs với sàn môi giới tin cậy IC Markets Tìm hiểu thêm Undo We applaud the victims' strength to come forward and confront this defendant.

'The depraved conduct uncovered in this case represents an extreme betrayal of trust toward patients who were simply seeking care and integrity from their doctor. The FBI will continue to aggressively pursue and hold accountable any medical professional who seeks to harm patients for their personal enrichment. ' The convicted doctor has been ordered to pay approximately $1.5 million in restitution.

Hyderabad man loses ₹2 lakh to WhatsApp scam impersonating friend stuck at Delhi airport
A 27-year-old government employee from Hyderabad lost ₹2,05,500 after falling for a WhatsApp scam where a fraudster posed as a friend struck at the Delhi airport. On May 22, the victim received a WhatsApp message from a UK number, claiming to be a friend of his friend who is studying in London. 'When the victim tried calling his friend, the call did not go through. Later, the fraudster called and mimicked the friend's voice, saying he was flying to Hyderabad from London,' said an officer from the Hyderabad Cyber Crimes police. The fraudster called again claiming he had been detained at Delhi airport by Income Tax officials over foreign currency issues. The victim then received another call, this time from an Indian number. The caller claimed to be an Income Tax officer and said the victim's friend needed to pay ₹55,500 as clearance and tax charges. A fake certificate supposedly signed by officials from Indian Customs and Tax Services was shared to make the demand look legitimate. Believing the situation was real, the victim transferred the money. A second demand followed for ₹1.50 lakh, which the victim also paid. When the fraudster asked for another ₹3.50 lakh, the victim grew suspicious and realised he had been scammed. He then lodged an online complaint. Authorities clarified that no government agency demands payments over phone or WhatsApp and advised victims of cyber fraud to immediately dial 1930 or visit In Hyderabad, citizens can also contact or WhatsApp 8712665171 for assistance.
