After submitting more than $3.5 million in false Medicare claims for home health services, John Dubor of Sugar Land, Texas, has been sentenced to nine years in prison and ordered to pay $3.5 million in restitution. Through his company, Care Committers Health Services, Dubor paid marketers and group home owners for Medicare beneficiary information, then falsely billed Medicare and Medicaid for home health services for which the beneficiaries did not qualify, did not receive, or both. Dubor himself would falsify patient assessment forms to make patients appear sicker, entitling him to higher reimbursement rates, and instructed his employees to falsify certifications and forge physician signatures.
