A sleazy scheme to bilk Medicare and private insurance for $33 million has landed a former pharmacy president in the slammer for two years. Adam Brosius, 61, of Delray Beach, Florida, masterminded the racket from his perch as director of business development and later president of Main Avenue Pharmacy in Clifton, New Jersey.
Between 2014 and 2016, Brosius and his crew cranked out fake compounded medications – scar creams, pain creams, migraine meds, and vitamins – that raked in fat payouts from insurers. The scam involved marketers, telemedicine companies, and doctors in a complex web of deceit.
Main Avenue Pharmacy churned out $33 million in reimbursements, with over $5.8 million coming from Tricare, a federal payer. The pharmacy paid out millions in kickbacks to marketers who brought in the lucrative prescriptions.
Brosius’ scheme wasn’t just a numbers game – it was a deadly serious crime that drained vital healthcare funds. He’s the latest defendant to be held accountable for a healthcare fraud and kickback scheme that’s got to stop.
