NEWARK – A Florida man was charged in an indictment unsealed this week for his role in a Medicare fraud scheme that involved a partnership with two co-conspirators from Monmouth County and caused $97 million in losses, the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the District of New Jersey announced.
Raheel Naviwala, 35, of Coral Springs, Florida, is charged with 10 counts of health care and wire fraud. According to statements and documents filed in court, Naviwala and his conspirators owned and operated multiple call centers through which they obtained doctors’ orders for orthotic braces for Medicare beneficiaries who didn’t need them.
Four other individuals partnered with Naviwala in this fraud scheme, including two Monmouth County residents who were not charged in this indictment, according to the U.S. Attorney’s Office.
