Oren David Shahar, 59, of Los Angeles, was arrested alongside two accomplices on suspicion of defrauding US health insurers of $27 million, according to reports. The arrest follows a prior indictment in which Shahar was already charged with a Medicare fraud scheme of the same scope.
Oren David Shahar, an Israeli citizen residing in Los Angeles, was arrested along with two additional accomplices on suspicion of perpetrating a $27 million health insurance fraud scheme in the United States. The arrest was part of a broad operation. Earlier today (Wednesday), The Zioneer reported Shahar's prior indictment for allegedly defrauding Medicare of $27 million — a case in which he was accused of paying funeral home employees for deceased persons' details, forging medical records, and billing for non-terminal patients. Today's update indicates the investigation expanded, with two more suspects arrested in the same scheme. The scope of the fraud and the specific insurers targeted remain under investigation.
