A federal grand jury in Nevada indicted Stephen Dubin, M.D., 74, of Henderson, for a $95 million scheme to defraud Medicare by billing for medically unnecessary amniotic wound allografts on elderly patients. The indictment alleges Dubin submitted false claims for costly procedures, including applying allografts to infected wounds and in excessive quantities, while receiving illegal kickbacks and bribes from distributors. Medicare paid over $54 million based on his fraudulent claims. Dubin, sole owner of Dubin Medical Consultants, Inc., faces conspiracy to commit health care fraud and five counts of health care fraud, with a maximum penalty of 10 years per count. The FBI, HHS-OIG, and DCIS investigated the case, which is being prosecuted by the Justice Department’s Fraud Division. An indictment is an allegation; all defendants are presumed innocent until proven guilty.
