Beaumont Doctor Sentence to Jail for Medicare, Medicaid Fraud
What happens if a doctor allows a non-licensed employee to prescribe medication and conduct surgery on a patient in his care? Dr. Alexander Orlov of Beaumont, Texas, can tell you: you go to jail for 15 months.
Almost too incredible to believe, Dr. Orlov charged patients as if he provided them with medical care, when, in fact, he subjected them to the untrained hands of an assistant. To add serious insult to potentially fatal injury, Orlov charged Medicare and Medicaid for the procedures, as if he would have conducted them.
Fortunately, no one seems to have injured by Dr. Orlov’s professional irresponsibility at the Lufkin Urgent Care facility. However, hundreds of victims of medical fraud are injured every year.
