Three physicians, three pharmacy owners, two pharmacists and three patient recruiters were among 13 defendants who pleaded guilty to charges relating to a $126 million compounding fraud scheme in Texas, the U.S. Justice Department announced.
The scheme targeted the federal Office of Workers’ Compensation Programs and Tricare, which provides civilian health benefits for U.S. military personnel.
The defendants were accused of paying kickbacks to patient recruiters and physicians to induce them to prescribe compounded drugs to injured federal workers and members of the armed forces.
