Michigan Resident Sentenced to Nine Years for $2.8M Health Care Fraud

Yogesh K Pancholi used stolen identities to conceal ownership of a home health company and billed Medicare for non-existent services.

Yogesh K Pancholi, a Michigan resident and owner of Shring Home Care Inc., has been sentenced to nine years in prison for a $2.8 million health care fraud.
Pancholi used the names, signatures, and personal identifying information of others to conceal his ownership of the company, despite being excluded from billing Medicare.
In a two-month period, Pancholi and his co-conspirators billed and were paid nearly $2.8 million by Medicare for services that were never provided.
Pancholi transferred these funds through bank accounts belonging to shell corporations and eventually into his accounts in India.
On the eve of trial, Pancholi attempted to tamper with a government witness by sending false and malicious emails to federal agencies under a pseudonym.
