FBI and state investigators seized medical files from the mental clinic at Riverside General Hospital in Houston yesterday, four months after an RGH executive was arrested for his role in a $116 million Medicare fraud scheme, according to a Houston Chronicle report.
Agents from the FBI and Texas Medicaid Fraud Control unit seized plastic boxes of patient records from Devotions Care Solutions. Officials did not specify the reason for the raid, according to the report.
In February, former RGH Assistant Administrator Mohammad Khan was arrested and pleaded guilty to his role in a large kickback scheme in which he submitted false claims for partial hospitalization program services to Medicare. PHP is a form of intensive outpatient treatment for severe mental illness. His fraudulent activity took place from 2008 up until his arrest.
Devotions Administrator Earnest Gibson IV said "everything's fine" and that Mr. Khan acted alone in his fraudulent scheme, according to the report. Mr. Gibson's father, Earnest Gibson III, has served as the administrator and CEO of RGH since 1983.
