A Norwalk, Connecticut, man has pleaded guilty to a federal healthcare fraud charge, admitting to submitting false claims to the state’s Medicaid program.
According to court documents, Alan Emmett Bradley, 57, obtained the Medicaid identification numbers of various Medicaid clients and used the identification numbers to submit hundreds of claims to Connecticut’s Department of Social Services.
The claims alleged that Bradley performed 75 to 80-minute individual psychotherapy sessions to these Medicaid clients at his office in Norwalk. However, hundreds of these counseling sessions did not occur, and for many of them, Bradley was actually living and attending school in Florida.
Bradley, a certified alcohol and drug abuse counselor, defrauded the Connecticut Medicaid program of $151,898.75 through this scheme.
He was arrested in Florida on May 17, 2012, and has been detained since November 29, 2012, after he was found to have violated certain conditions of his pretrial release.
Bradley faces a maximum term of imprisonment of 10 years and a fine of up to $250,000 when he is sentenced on June 5, 2013.
U.S. Attorney David B. Fein encouraged individuals who suspect healthcare fraud to report it by calling the Health Care Fraud Task Force at 203-777-6311 or 1-800-HHS-TIPS.
