John Kosloski, Health Care Fraud, Illinois 2024

A south suburban chiropractor has been accused of bilking private insurers out of thousands of dollars through a scheme of fake treatments.

John Kosloski, 55, operated his own practice, Diagnostic & Therapeutic Rehab, also known as Diagnostic & Therapeutic Rehab Services, in Dolton. From 2011 to 2018, Kosloski allegedly submitted reimbursement claims to private insurers for chiropractic services that were not rendered, according to the indictment.

At least five individuals purported to be Kosloski’s patients and allowed their personal identifying information and their family members’ information to be cited by Kosloski in the fraudulent claims, the indictment states. After Kosloski received money from the private insurers, he would pay the co-schemers via envelopes of cash.

The indictment charges Kosloski with six counts of health care fraud. He pleaded not guilty today at his arraignment before U.S. District Judge Rebecca R. Pallmeyer.

Each count of health care fraud is punishable by up to ten years in prison. If convicted, the Court must impose a reasonable sentence under federal statutes and the advisory United States Sentencing Guidelines.

The public is reminded that an indictment is not evidence of guilt. The defendant is presumed innocent and entitled to a fair trial at which the government has the burden of proving guilt beyond a reasonable doubt.
