Greg Miller, 60, pled guilty to participating in a $9 million scheme to defraud providers of “no-fault” insurance plans. As part of the scheme, Miller and his co-conspirators billed insurance companies millions of dollars for expensive durable medical equipment that was never provided to patients. As alleged in the Information filed in Manhattan federal court: Between 2014 and 2019, Greg Miller employed other individuals to serve as the nominal owners of at least two durable medical equipment (“DME”) supply companies located in Brooklyn, New York. Miller, the true owner and operator of the companies, directed these individuals to submit fraudulent bills to private insurance companies that provided “no-fault” insurance plans. Under New York State law, a company that insures a vehicle involved in an accident is required to provide reimbursement for certain treatments and services provided to the vehicle occupants, regardless of who was at fault in the accident. These treatments and services may include DME if the DME is necessary and actually provided. The bills submitted by Miller’s companies were fraudulent because, among other things, the bills were for DME that was never provided to patients, for DME that was medically unnecessary, or for expensive DME purportedly provided to patients when the DME in fact provided to patients was inexpensive DME.
