Ankita Singh was sentenced to 26 months in prison for her role in a durable medical equipment (DME) scheme. She was also ordered to pay more than $4.47 million in restitution. She purportedly provided “telehealth services” and was paid a fee to conduct patient consultations, which never took place. Singh signed more than 11,000 prescriptions for orthotic braces for approximately 3,000 Medicare beneficiaries with whom she had no patient-physician relationship and frequently ordered multiple braces for each patient, without ever having examined them.
