CHICAGO — The grimy truth behind Diagnostic & Therapeutic Rehab’s doors in Dolton has been laid bare, as John Kosloski, the clinic’s owner, faces a grilling of six counts of health care fraud. According to federal documents, Kosloski, 55, from Beecher, operated his business with a deceitful scheme that bilked private insurers out of tens of thousands for non-existent chiropractic services.
The indictment claims Kosloski, between 2011 and 2018, submitted fake reimbursement claims for treatments never provided. The alleged chicanery extended to at least five individuals who unwittingly provided their personal information, which was then used in the fraudulent billing process. Kosloski allegedly received cash payouts from insurers and returned the favor by slipping envelopes of cash to his co-conspirators.
Today, Kosloski pleaded not guilty before U.S. District Judge Rebecca R. Pallmeyer. The charges against him carry a potential sentence of up to ten years for each count. Assistant U.S. Attorney Kelly Greening is leading the government’s case against the accused fraudster.
The charges were announced by John R. Lausch, Jr., the United States Attorney for the Northern District of Illinois, and supported by Jeffrey S. Sallet, Special Agent-in-Charge of the FBI’s Chicago office, along with Inspector General Kevin H. Winters from the Amtrak Office of Inspector General.
Despite the serious charges, it is crucial to remember that an indictment does not equate to guilt. Kosloski, like any defendant, is presumed innocent until proven guilty beyond a reasonable doubt in a fair trial.
The grim details of this case serve as a stark reminder of the lengths some will go to defraud insurance companies and the diligent work of federal authorities in uncovering such schemes.
