The Justice Department statement said Sheth used his
hospital privileges to access and obtain information about
patients without their knowledge or consent.
He then hired individuals to bill Medicare and other
insurance providers for medical services that he purportedly
rendered to patients whom he knew he never treated.
Typically waiting almost a year after the treatment was
purportedly provided, Sheth submitted more than 14,800 false
claims for reimbursement for providing the highest level of
cardiac care requiring hands-on treatment in an intensive care
unit on multiple days during patients' hospital stays.
Sheth regularly submitted claims seeking payment that,
when added together, had him providing more than 24 hours of
medical services and treatment in a single day.
Federal agents searched Sheth's Burr Ridge home in June
2007 and seized more than 600 uncashed checks from various
insurers totalling more than USD 6.7 million. PTI HK
