Further, Borgesano admits that he and his co-conspirators manipulate billing codes in the reimbursement claims and submit reimbursement claims for non-existing pharmaceutical ingredients. Borgesano and his co-conspirators also engage in bribes in exchange for prescriptions and patient identifying information to further their scheme. One such example involves a physician signing prescriptions for patients he never saw. Borgesano admits using A to Z Pharmacy as his operational command center to facilitate the fraud on behalf of all his pharmacies.
Borgesano’s plea agreement includes guilty pleas to one count of conspiracy to commit health care fraud and one count of conspiracy to engage in monetary transactions involving criminally derived property.
