Ruby Scott, a nurse and owner and operator of Delta Home Health Care LLC, was convicted for operating a $1.6 million scheme to defraud Medicare. She bribed a discharge nurse to identify Medicare patients and fax their confidential records to Delta. She used these stolen profiles to bill Medicare for home health services, exploiting the diagnostic and personal information of patients who were unaware their data had been compromised. Scott falsely represented to Medicare that a doctor had certified patients as meeting the Medicare requirements to receive home health services, including being homebound, when evidence proved no doctor had ever evaluated these patients for home health services.
