Doctor accused of filing claims for dead patients faces new charges
A McAllen area doctor accused in June of filing fraudulent Medicare claims involving deceased patients faces new charges after he continued to file false claims, federal investigators said.
Dr. Eduardo Carrillo, 42, must surrender to authorities Tuesday following his hearing scheduled at 11 a.m. before U.S. Magistrate Judge Dorina Ramos where he’ll be formally charged with six new counts of healthcare fraud, the U.S. District Attorney’s Office announced Monday.
Carrillo was first indicted by a federal grand jury June 9 on three counts of illegal remunerations, two counts of aggravated identity theft, and one count of false statement. One week later he was given a $50,000 bond and released under certain conditions including not violating federal, state and local law, court documents show.
A motion filed last week accuses Carrillo of submitting six fraudulent bills for services he provided between July 2-15 to patients whose death certificates show they had died in 2013 and 2014.
