A Dearborn Heights doctor, Fares Yasin, age 59, pleaded guilty to defrauding Medicare of more than $925,000 in healthcare payments. According to court records, Yasin operated Michigan Home Visiting Physicians, in Dearborn, Michigan. Beginning in January 2015, Yasin was suspended from submitting claims to Medicare for any services that he rendered. However, during his suspension, Yasin continued to treat Medicare beneficiaries, and then he fraudulently submitted claims to Medicare utilizing the names and identification numbers of other doctors, including co-defendant Nura Yasin, in order to receive reimbursement for the services he rendered. As part of the guilty plea, Yasin agreed to forfeit approximately $367,000 in cash seized by federal agents during the course of the investigation. A sentencing hearing is set for September 14, 2023. Yasin faces up to ten years in federal prison.
