Clarksville physician accused of healthcare fraud in multi-year scheme

The Justice Department announced a massive crackdown on healthcare fraud involving over $6.5 billion in false insurance claims. Within this multi-billion-dollar effort, the United States Attorney's Office Middle District of Tennessee charged 77-year-old Ramon Aquino. The Clarksville physician faces one count of health care fraud related to a multi-year scheme. These actions reflect a broader federal initiative to combat systemic fraudulent claims submitted to insurers across the country to protect public and private funds.
