Mr. Veasey, along with several others, was convicted of healthcare fraud conspiracy and three counts of healthcare fraud.
He and his co-defendents recruited Medicare patients to sign up for Medicare home healthcare, then falsified visit notes to make it appear as though skilled nursing services were provided and necessary.
Co-defendent Jacques Roy, MD, processed and approved care plans for 11,000 unique Medicare beneficiaries from more than 500 different home health agencies, including Apple of Your Eye.
The FBI, HHS, Office of Inspector General and Texas Attorney General’s Medicaid Fraud Control Unit all participated in the investigation.
