Raciel Leon, manager of Mercy Home Care Inc. and a billing employee for D&D&D Home Health Care Inc., two Miami-area home health agencies, was sentenced to a 126 month prison term for his role in a $2.5 million Medicare fraud scheme. The evidence at trial showed that Leon and his co-conspirators used the companies to submit false claims to Medicare based on services not medically necessary, not actually provided, and for patients procured through the payment of illegal kickbacks to doctors and patient recruiters.
