Enfermera filipino-estadounidense acusada de fraude sanitario por 906 millones de dólares

Una enfermera filipino-estadounidense, originaria de la ciudad de Tuguegarao, Cagayán, ha sido acusada en Houston, Texas, por presuntamente liderar una red de fraude sanitario que presentó más de 906 millones de dólares en reclamaciones falsas ante Medicare y TRICARE.

Marizel Cambri Yukee, residente de Las Vegas, Nevada, fue imputada el 18 de junio. Los fiscales señalaron que ella y sus cómplices presentaron reclamaciones de reembolso fraudulentas entre octubre de 2023 y abril de 2026. Medicare y TRICARE pagaron más de 297 millones de dólares por dichas reclamaciones. Yukee poseía y controlaba varias clínicas conocidas colectivamente como las clínicas Yukee. Los documentos judiciales indican que el esquema involucraba el pago de sobornos ilegales a proveedores de atención médica para que remitieran pacientes. Las reclamaciones correspondían a artículos y servicios que eran médicamente injustificados e innecesarios. Las autoridades alegan que los beneficios financiaron un estilo de vida lujoso. Entre los artículos enumerados se incluyen un Ferrari 296 GTS, un Cadillac Escalade, un collar Bulgari, una casa en Hawái y un complejo turístico de playa en Sta. Ana, Cagayán. La fiscalía busca la confiscación de las propiedades y los fondos.
