Former Business Owner Charged

Court filings allege that Oleg Beretsky, the owner of Obest Inc., cultivated relationships with patients and gained control over decisions regarding their health care providers. Beretsky then used that control to ensure that only doctors and other providers – including social workers, pain specialists, and diagnostic companies – who were willing to pay him would have access to the patients. On at least one occasion, Beretsky threatened a patient who wanted to continue seeing a provider who had stopped paying illegal kickbacks.
