Georgia Man Sentenced for $24M Medicare Genetic Testing Fraud Scheme
A 48-year-old man from Peachtree City has been sentenced for his part in a Medicare fraud scheme. Patrick Moore Jr. admitted to running a network that tricked elderly patients into unnecessary genetic tests. His actions led to millions in false billings and kickbacks over several years.
Moore orchestrated a conspiracy where recruiters targeted Medicare beneficiaries. They convinced patients to take genetic tests they did not need, generating fraudulent claims. Laboratories linked to the scheme then billed Medicare roughly $24 million.
The case has resulted in a prison term and a substantial financial penalty for Moore. Medicare lost millions due to unnecessary tests and false claims. The sentence reflects the seriousness of the fraud and its impact on public healthcare funds.
