Medicare & Medicaid Fraud Exposed
When trusted credentials become criminal tools, the stakes are higher than malpractice insurance. In this episode, Shannen and Nyleen pull back the curtain on real-life cases where physicians and healthcare professionals used their white coats for cold cash — leaving Medicare, Medicaid, and patient trust in the dust.
From a Texas doctor selling signatures for $30 a piece, to COVID-era cancer scams in New York, to a $160 million pharmacy empire crumbling in Houston — we cover it all, Fraudpalooza-style.
