March 02, 2021 - In a nationwide case, two individuals have been found guilty of an Affordable Care Act enrollment fraud scheme that used individuals in need of substance abuse care and falsely enrolled them in Affordable Care Act plans, the Department of Justice (DOJ) announced.
The defendants, Jeffrey White and Nicholas White who are father and son respectively, sought to enroll individuals in Affordable Care Act plans in states other than their own, specifically states that had high reimbursement rates for substance abuse treatment.
The two men went so far as to create fake residential addresses and cell phone numbers with accurate area codes that would direct the call to the Whites’ phones.
