Charles Ronald Green Jr. and his wife, Melinda Elizabeth Green, were sentenced in federal court to 27 months each for fraudulently billing government healthcare programs more than $125 million for medically unnecessary treatments. According to court filings, the Greens engaged in a scheme to defraud two major federal healthcare programs: TRICARE, the medical benefits program for military servicemembers and their families, and Medicare, the program that provides benefits to elderly or disabled Americans. Chief US District Judge Dana M. Sabraw also ordered $4.5 million in restitution to TRICARE and $69,915,909.69 to Medicare.
