The Office of the Inspector General of the United States Department of Health and Human Services in the Regional Office of Miami announced the conviction of Roger Rousseau, former medical director of Health Care Solutions Network Inc. (HCSN) and three HCSN therapists after being proven to have committed a multi-million dollar healthcare fraud scheme and related charges.
The Health Care Solutions Network Inc. (HCSN) is now an inoperative, non-functioning partial hospitalization program (PHP) that used to work in providing intensive medical services for severe mental illnesses and diseases in Florida. As reported to the federal jury in Miami, the HCSN illegitimately billed Medicare and Florida Medicaid for mental health services that were intentionally fabricated. These deceitful acts involve false creation of several patient medical records, tampering ineligible patients for eligibility for PHP services, and illegally provided kickbacks to some of the operators and owners of the Miami-Dade County Assisted Living Facilities (ALF) for patient referral information trade-off.
