Prosecutors said Peyman Heidary owned and ran numerous businesses in California, including law firms and health clinics, and established an illegal ownership structure designed to disguise his involvement in business activities, according to court documents obtained by The Desert Sun.
Investigators from the California Department of Justice claim Mr. Hiedary and co-conspirators fraudulently billed 18 insurance companies for services amounting to more than $98 million between 2009 and 2014. The false claims resulted in payments to his company in excess of $12.4 million.
Other conspirators indicted include Cary David Abramowitz, Ana Solis, Gladys Ross, Touba Pakdel-Nabati, Quyam Nguyen and Jason Yang.
