Medicare fraud shocks America- Couple admits to their crime

In one of the biggest revelations in present day America, a couple residing in Miami Lakes admitted that they had made millions by engaging in fraudulent activities concerning durable medical equipment. Abner Diaz, 37 and his wife Mabel, 36, are now worth $420 million simply by making false claims. Going by reports, they were successful in collecting about 5% of the commission that the Government was supposed to pay to more than 80 durable medical equipment companies. While Abner confessed to his crime on June 20 2008, Mabel came up with the truth last Wednesday. Along with their confession came that of an employee working at All- Med Billing Corp, the organization owned by the couple. Suleidy Cano has been convicted of identity theft and other related crimes. While Cano faces imprisonment of 12 years, the Diazes will have to bear the same punishment for 8 more years, making it twenty for them. According to sources the Diazes were playing a well planned game, fooling officials by producing false claims on behalf of durable medical equipment companies in the Miami- Dade area. Accessing physician ID numbers and using them for authorizing the claims already filed also happened to be a major part of the couple’s criminal agenda.
