According to prosecutors, Ramil Mansourov, MD, billed Connecticut’s Medicaid program for medical treatment that was never provided. Between 2014 and November 2016, he submitted claims to Medicaid totaling nearly $5 million for home, nursing home and office visits that never occurred. He also allegedly used billing codes that provided him higher reimbursement rates.
Connecticut Attorney General William Tong filed a False Claims lawsuit against Mr. Mansourov, which enabled the state to obtain a court judgement for three times the amount of damages sustained.
Mr. Mansourov is currently serving a seven-year prison sentence after pleading guilty in 2019 to one count of healthcare billing fraud and one count of money laundering. His medical liscense is inactive.
