SDNY COURTHOUSE, Dec 28 – Ted Albin was arrested in Florida on charges of health care fraud and conspiracy to violate the Anti-Kickback Statute.
As sketched in a four-count Indictment unsealed in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York, Albin and his twin sister Erin Foley ran a Medicare billing company that they used to bill Medicare for more than $25 million in fraudulent claims for durable medical equipment and on which Medicare and related private insurers paid out more than $9 million.
On December 28, Albin appeared by Facetime, from Florida, before SDNY Magistrate Judge Barbara Moses. Inner City Press was in the courtroom, the only media there, and live tweeted. Part of thread here:
Albin wants a publicly paid lawyer - and gets one, while owning two properties, one of which he rents out
Albin will remain free on bail - but is told not to speak about the case with his (twin) sister Erin Foley, the lead / named defendant, married to Palm Beach County Sheriff's Office Captain Randy Foley...
