Qin was criminally charged in December 2018 with fraudulently billing Medicare for vascular surgery procedures performed on End-Stage Renal Disease (ESRD) patients that were not medically reasonable and necessary or covered under Medicare rules; the United States also filed a civil health care fraud complaint against Qin and Qin Medical in December 2018.
