Edmond woman allegedly defrauds millions from health care system
EDMOND, Okla. – Over-billed by millions of dollars. An Edmond woman and her son are facing a federal indictment for allegedly bilking the federal government on health care claims.
The alleged financial abuse spanned several years.
The mother worked as an office manager and part owner at a now-closed Oklahoma City health care clinic.
A federal indictment claims the woman and her son defrauded taxpayers by submitting numerous fraudulent claims for patient treatment they never performed.
The fraud stems from legitimate on the job injuries suffered by United States Postal Workers.
The federal indictment claims 51-year-old Farideh Heidarpour used those legitimate worker’s compensation claims to illegally profit from the federal government.
For example, the indictment details how Heidarpour would allegedly submit “duplicate or multiple billings for the same service.”
