Additionally, Benczkowski vowed that the Justice Department will continue to “use every tool… to investigate, prosecute, and punish this reprehensible behavior and protect federal programs from abuse.”
On other hand, HHS-OIG Special Agent in Charge Scott J. Lampert, commented, “Healthcare fraud is not a victimless crime—with unscrupulous providers preying on Medicare beneficiaries and taxpayers alike. Especially insidious is the fraud committed by healthcare professionals who are trusted to provide needed, quality services to patients. With our law enforcement partners, our agency will continue to thoroughly investigate medical providers and others involved in healthcare fraud.”
