Federal prosecutors in New Orleans on Thursday announced charges against two more doctors and five others accused of billing Medicare for home health-care services that were not medically necessary or were never provided. The new indictment comes in a sprawling case against more than a dozen people affiliated with six health-care companies charged with bilking Medicare out of more than $50 million.
