Daniel Robinson, CEO of Oak Lawn, Ill.-based ODA Solutions, was charged with one count of healthcare fraud and one count of money laundering in connection with what the Justice Department described as a scheme to defraud the Illinois Medicaid program.
The case is part of the department’s National Healthcare Fraud Takedown, which charged 455 defendants, including 90 physicians, nurses and other licensed medical professionals, for allegedly participating in healthcare fraud and opioid abuse schemes.
Here are three things to know:
- According to prosecutors, Mr. Robinson orchestrated a scheme involving fraudulent claims for behavioral health counseling and therapy services that were never provided, according to a June 30 news release. Prosecutors accused ODA Solutions billed Illinois Medicaid more than $92 million and received approximately $75 million in payments.
- Prosecutors accused Mr. Robinson of directing others to create fake medical records and bill Medicaid for counseling services that were not provided, including for beneficiaries who had died, in January 2024.
- Prosecutors also accused Mr. Robinson of transferring approximately $45 million in proceeds to brokerage and other business bank accounts and using more than $7 million to purchase real estate, vehicles, jewelry and a yacht.
