PreferredAn Armenian man is sentenced to six years in jail for his participation in a Charleston-based Medicare fraud scheme.
The judge sentences Sargis Tadevosyan, 42, to six years in prison on counts of aggravated identity theft and conspiracy to commit health-care fraud, reports The Charleston Gazette.
Fake clinics were set up by a man known as “Garik”. Tadevosyan, along with Igor Shevchuk and Arsen Bedzhanyan, stole the names and Social Security numbers of several people and used the identities as a front for false Medicaid claims.
Shevchuk and Bedzhanyan pleaded guilty and were sentenced to 18 months in jail.
