Man Sentenced in Genetic Test Scheme

Patrick C. Moore Jr. was sentenced to 46 months in prison and ordered to pay over $7.2 million in restitution. According to court documents, he instructed a network of recruiters to target and induce Medicare beneficiaries to accept genetic tests that were not medically necessary, not provided as represented, or not eligible for reimbursement. To conceal the scheme, he created sham invoices documenting fabricated numbers of hours worked. Read a story from The Citizen and a Department of Justice press release.
