Miami-Dade brothers plead guilty to Medicare fraud¶
Two Miami-Dade brothers who fled the United States to evade charges in a $13.7 million Medicare fraud scheme pleaded guilty on Monday in Miami federal court to several counts of conspiracy to commit fraud, submitting false claims and paying healthcare kickbacks.¶
Rolando Nogueira, 48, and his brother Jose Nogueira, 52, owned and operated a Miami clinic, T&R Rehabilitation Professional Corp., catering to AIDS patients. They fled in April shortly after being indicted for billing the government for HIV-infusion and other medical services that were either not performed or needed. They were later apprehended.¶
The brothers face a possible maximum sentence of 30-40 years in prison, scheduled for Nov. 5.¶
