Man Admits Role in $10 Million Scheme

Adam Wayne Owens admitted his role in a $10 million kickback scheme with testing companies that arranged for at-home cancer genetic (CGx) tests. Owens and his conspirators provided personal and medical information about Medicare beneficiaries to the testing companies, which caused CGx testing kits to be sent to the beneficiaries. Once the tests were completed and returned, Owens’ conspirators submitted claims for reimbursement to Medicare. Read a story from Regtechtimes and a Department of Justice press release.
