MIAMI (AP) — A Miami man has been added to federal health officials' list of most wanted fugitives.
Sandy
De La Fe was indicted last year on charges of conspiracy to commit
health care fraud and health care fraud. Investigators say De La Fe
owned a Miami pharmacy and participated in a prescription drug fraud
scheme that bilked Medicare out of millions of dollars.
According
to the indictment, De La Fe's co-conspirators paid patients to obtain
prescriptions drugs. The false prescriptions, some of which were worth
more than $1,000 a piece, were billed to Medicare Part D, even though
the drugs were not medically necessary or not given to
Medicare beneficiaries.
Authorities said Medicare paid roughly $2.8 million in false claims.
Investigators believe De La Fe may be hiding in Cuba.
