Igor Radinovskiy and Aleksandr Radinovskiy, co-owners of Sabe Ambulette Services Inc., d/b/a Mobility Transportation, located in Brooklyn and North Bellmore, New York, pleaded guilty to one count of conspiracy to offer and pay healthcare kickbacks and one count of conspiracy to defraud the lawful functions of the Internal Revenue Service. According to court filings and admissions by the defendants, Igor Radinovskiy and Aleksandr Radinovskiy, father and son respectively, paid kickbacks to co-conspirator drivers for recruiting Medicaid beneficiaries for transportation to clinics in Brooklyn and Queens, and referring those beneficiaries to the defendants’ company. Those drivers were not enrolled in the Medicaid program, and were not authorized to bill Medicaid for the transportation. The defendants, whose ambulette company was enrolled in Medicaid, billed the government program for the drivers’ services, kept 15 to 20 percent of the Medicaid reimbursements and kicked back 80 to 85 percent to the unauthorized drivers. In total, between January 2008 and April 2018, the defendants and their co-conspirators paid more than $8.6 million in kickbacks.
