KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Two executives of an Overland Park-based company have been charged with conspiring to commit $1.9 billion in health care fraud, marking what officials called one of the largest such schemes prosecuted in Justice Department history.
Johnson County residents Brett Blackman, 39, and Gregory Schreck, 49, were indicted in the Southern District of Florida for allegedly conspiring to commit fraud, conspiring to pay and receive health care kickbacks, and conspiring to defraud the U.S.
The men were charged along with Gary Cox, 77, of Arizona, in connection with more than $1.96 billion in fake claims submitted to federally funded programs, according to prosecutors.
