According to the indictment, some pharmacies identified high-profit prescriptions and hired doctors to prescribe them, with patients then purchasing the medications. The pharmacies tracked the prescriptions and then paid the doctors a share of the profits through marketing and management companies such as Trinity Champion and Hexamed.
The indictment alleges that the doctors prescribed drugs with a profit-sharing arrangement.
Trinity Champion's leader, Amir Mortazavi, and Hexamed's leader, Arvin Zeinali, along with their respective companies, have both been indicted.
The indictment alleges that the pharmacies received 45-55% of the profits, while the remainder was passed on to intermediary companies to be shared with doctors. If convicted, each defendant faces a sentence of up to 45 years in prison.
According to FBI agent Chad Yarbrough, fraud in the healthcare sector affects every sector of the American economy and causes billions of dollars in losses annually.
