Authorities this week charged three doctors in Florida, along with 17 others, in an alleged Medicare fraud scam that involved authorizing psychotherapy for Alzheimer patients and other phony mental health treatments in a scheme to steal $200 million.
Justice Department prosecutors allege that American Therapeutic Corp., the nation's largest chain of community mental health centers, and its sister companies, faked medication and care charts for therapy sessions that were never held.
The charges also claim that the group paid the owners of assisted living facilities and halfway houses to bring patients to their seven mental health centers in south and central Florida.
