Investigation Details
In May 2009, an arrest warrant was issued for Muhammad Azeem on charges of health care fraud conspiracy, health care fraud, and money laundering conspiracy. It is believed that through their alleged scheme, Azeem and his accomplices submitted over $18 million in fraudulent claims to Medicare.
According to court documents, from January 2003 through March 2007, Azeem and his co-defendants controlled several medical therapy and medical services companies in Michigan and paid Medicare beneficiaries to sign Medicare reimbursement forms for medical treatment and services that were not provided.
After receiving the signed Medicare forms, it is alleged that Azeem and his accomplices filed the forms with Medicare, seeking payment for services and treatment that were not actually provided to the beneficiaries.
Azeem and his co-conspirators also established several fictitious companies in an effort to conceal the money and assets gained from the scheme.
Azeem fled the United States after being confronted by authorities about his participation in the scheme.
