The two owners of Oklahoma-based Mercy Diabetic Supply were charged with 115 counts of Medicaid fraud and could face up to $28.7 million in fines, according to KFOR.com
Prosecutors claim Enuja Vasquez and Lawrence Vasquez falsified Medicaid claims to the Oklahoma Health Care Authority for insulin pump supplies. Specifically, OHCA officials allege the couple filed claims for patients who didn't have diabetes or didn't use insulin pumps to manage their diabetes, forged physician signatures and falsified medical forms.
If convicted, the couple could be imprisoned for a maximum of 10 years per count. In addition, they could also be fined up to $250,000 per count, including mandatory restitution.
