News / MIAMI DME OWNER SENTENCED FOR MEDICARE FRAUD R. Alexander Acosta, United States Attorney for the Southern District of Florida and Jonathan I. Solomon, Special Agent in Charge, Federal Bureau of Investigation, Miami Field Office announced today that on June 24, 2008, United States District Court Judge Cecilia M. Altontaga sentenced defendant Raul Lazaro Carbonell to 20 months imprisonment followed by three years of supervised release. The defendant was also ordered to pay restitution in the amount of $318,014.
According to the Indictment and the factual proffer read in open court at the time of the plea, the defendant was the president of Royal Medical Services Corp, a Durable Medical Equipment (DME) based in Miami-Dade County which purported to supply DME to Medicare Beneficiaries. From November 1, 2007, through February 13 2008, the defendant was part of a scheme to defraud Medicare by submitting claims to Medicare for services and equipment that were not, in fact, rendered to Medicare Beneficiaries. During the course of the scheme approximately $902,363 in false claims were submitted to Medicare. As a result of those false submissions Medicare paid Royal Medical $318,014 which was deposited into an account controlled by the defendant.
Mr. Acosta commended the investigative efforts of the Federal Bureau of Investigation, Miami Field Office. This case was prosecuted by Assistant United States Attorney Daniel Bernstein.
