The FBI is asking for the public’s assistance in discovering more victims of a Hoffman Estates medical doctor who was indicted on 13 counts of overall health care fraud just after allegedly bilking Medicaid and numerous overall health care applications out of almost $800,000, officials stated.

A web-site and on line questionnaire have been developed to recognize any far more victims of Dr. Mona Ghosh, according to a statement from FBI spokesperson Siobhan Johnson.

Ghosh is a licensed doctor who owned and operated Progressive Women’s Healthcare in Hoffman Estates and was indicted earlier this month, the statement stated.

Ghosh is alleged to have defrauded numerous overall health care advantage applications, like Medicaid, for solutions that had been not supplied as billed.

She allegedly submitted false claims for health-related procedures such as endometrial ablation and solutions such as laboratory testing that had been not medically essential and/or under no circumstances rendered, Johnson stated in the statement. These integrated claims for purported telemedicine visits when Ghosh did not speak to the patient, claims for workplace visits and procedures when Ghosh did not see the patient, and claims for procedures predicated on false diagnosis, the FBI stated.

“Targeting government and private overall health care applications relied on by the public to keep their nicely-becoming is a significant crime,” Acting U.S. Lawyer Morris Pasqual stated in a statement. “In addition to submitting false claims, the allegation that defendant performed medically unnecessary procedures to enrich herself is specifically disturbing. This workplace will continue to operate closely with our law enforcement partners to prosecute these who steal from overall health care applications and who needlessly place sufferers at danger.”

The FBI believes there may well be several far more victims, Johnson stated in the statement, adding that victims may well be eligible for particular solutions and restitution.
