Usman Butt, a former owner and manager of two Detroit-area home health care agencies, Home Health Services Inc. and Royal Home Health Care Inc., pleaded guilty for his role in a $22 million Medicare fraud conspiracy. Specifically, Butt admitted that beginning in 2008 and continuing through January 2013, he conspired with others to bill Medicare for home health care services that were not actually rendered, not medically necessary, and procured through paying illegal kickbacks. He also admitted that he fabricated patient files to give the false appearance that the services were medically necessary and actually provided. DOJ
