US Attorney Trini E. Ross announced that Saleh Mozeb, 67, of Buffalo, NY, who was convicted of healthcare fraud, was sentenced to serve one year probation, and pay restitution totaling $12,619.12. Assistant US Attorney John D. Fabian, who handled the case, stated that Mozeb was a one-third owner in, and a driver for, Great Lake Transportation, which offered transportation services to Medicaid recipients. Between September 2016, and December 31, 2020, drivers for Great Lake Transportation, including Mozeb, submitted false and fraudulent attestation records to Medical Answering Service, a Medicaid transportation management company that scheduled transportation services for Medicaid recipients. Mozeb claimed that covered transportation services had been provided to Medicaid recipients, when in truth and in fact, no such transportation services had been provided.
