A Florida man pleaded guilty in federal court in Concord for his role in a conspiracy to defraud Medicare of $7.3 million. Shane Jordan, 38, of Orlando, Florida, pleaded guilty to one count of conspiracy to commit healthcare fraud. According to court documents and statements made in court, Jordan was a physician assistant licensed in multiple jurisdictions, including New Hampshire. From February 2021 until May 2024, Jordan worked for a Florida-based telemedicine company and agreed to electronically sign doctor’s orders for cancer genetic testing regardless of the medical necessity for the testing, in the absence of a pre-existing medical provider-patient relationship with the Medicare beneficiary, and frequently based solely on a short telephone conversation. Jordan was paid approximately $25 per patient telemedicine “consultation”—totaling more than $212,000. The doctor’s orders signed by Jordan were then used to submit more than $7.3 million in false and fraudulent claims to Medicare for cancer genetic testing.
