Pali Doctors | Pacific Palisades
At least two doctors from Pacific Palisades were announced to have been charged by federal prosecutors in various health care fraud schemes that “fraudulently sought over $150 million from the Medicare and Medicaid programs, as well as private insurers and union health benefit plans,” according to a report by City News Service.
Dr. Ronald Weaver and Dr. Ronald Carlish were the two Palisadian doctors named.
“Corruption drains dollars from private insurers and public programs such as Medicare and Medicaid,” U.S. Attorney Nick Hanna told CNS. “This office will continue to hold accountable anyone—including medical professionals—who seeks to bilk our nation’s health care system.”
