Felicar Williams, Medicare Fraud, Michigan 2014
A Detroit adult day care center operator and two home health care company owners have been sentenced to prison for their roles in a massive Medicare scam, authorities said.
Felicar Williams, 51, of Dearborn, Michigan, was sentenced to five years in prison and ordered to pay $2,431,018 in restitution, representing the amount paid by Medicare for Williams’ fraudulent claims.
Abdul Malik Al-Jumail, 54, and Jamella Al-Jumail, 25, both of Brownstown, Michigan, were sentenced to 10 years in prison and four years in prison respectively. Both were also ordered to pay $8,389,541 and $589,516 in restitution, respectively, the amounts paid by Medicare for their fraudulent claims.
The sentences were imposed by U.S. District Judge Denise Page Hood of the Eastern District of Michigan in Detroit.
Williams was convicted of conspiracy to commit health care fraud and conspiracy to receive health care kickbacks. Abdul Malik Al-Jumail and Jamella Al-Jumail were each found guilty of conspiracy to commit health care fraud. Abdul Malik Al-Jumail was also found guilty of conspiracy to pay and receive health care kickbacks. Jamella Al-Jumail was also found guilty of destroying documents in connection with a federal investigation.
The evidence at trial showed that Williams billed Medicare for psychotherapy services that were not actually provided. She also sold the private medical information of her patients to Abdul Malik Al-Jumail so that he could use it to submit fraudulent claims to Medicare.
The case was investigated by the FBI, HHS-OIG, and the IRS, and was brought as part of the Medicare Fraud Strike Force, under the supervision of the Criminal Division’s Fraud Section and the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Eastern District of Michigan.
The Medicare Fraud Strike Force has charged nearly 2,100 defendants who have collectively billed the Medicare program for more than $6.5 billion since its inception in March 2007.
