A federal grand jury in Miami returned an indictment charging a Key Largo man with submitting approximately $42 million in fraudulent healthcare claims to United Healthcare. According to allegations in the indictment, from April 2013 to March 2017, 49-year-old Bradley Jason Kantor owned and operated Mobile Diagnostic Imaging, Inc. (“MDI”), a purported medical clinic in Davie, Florida that provided antigen therapy and other allergen immunotherapy services, such as allergy testing and allergy shots, to commercial insurance beneficiaries. It is alleged that Kantor offered and paid kickbacks to co-conspirators to induce them to refer beneficiaries to MDI, so that MDI could bill commercial insurers for services that it never provided. The indictment alleges that MDI submitted approximately $42 million in false and fraudulent claims to United Healthcare, and that United paid MDI more than $12 million in reimbursement for services that beneficiaries never received. According to the indictment, Kantor purchased a $3 million home in the Ocean Reef Club in Key Largo, Florida, two Winnebago motor coaches, and a 37’ yacht with the ill-gotten proceeds.
