A man in Florida is pleading guilty to defrauding Medicare out of tens of millions of dollars in a ‘Doctor Chase’ scheme.

The U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) says 38-year-old Sean Alterman has admitted to running a healthcare fraud scheme that involved fraudulent claims made to Medicare.

Authorities say that Alterman, who owned and operated two healthcare labs, used his companies to purchase orders for expensive genetic testing from patient recruiters who used deceptive tactics to persuade patients to take the tests – all while billing Medicare.

To help his scheme, Alterman employed a tactic known as ‘doctor chasing,’ or sending doctors misleading requests designed to trick them into signing off on the tests.

Using this method, Alterman used his two companies to receive $36 million worth of medical claims from Medicare, claiming $5.5 million as his own through shell corporations.

Authorities say that he used some of the funds to purchase luxury items, such as a large home and a Rolls-Royce, both of which have been forfeited.

Alterman pleaded guilty to conspiracy to commit healthcare fraud and conspiracy to offer and pay kickbacks and is scheduled to be sentenced on April 16th. He faces up to 15 years behind bars.

A Netflix ‘KPop Demon Hunters’ Short Film Has Been Rated For Release

The post A Netflix ‘KPop Demon Hunters’ Short Film Has Been Rated For Release appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. KPop Demon Hunters Netflix Everyone has wondered what may be the next step for KPop Demon Hunters as an IP, given its record-breaking success on Netflix. Now, the answer may be something exactly no one predicted. According to a new filing with the MPA, something called Debut: A KPop Demon Hunters Story has been rated PG by the ratings body. It’s listed alongside some other films, and this is obviously something that has not been publicly announced. A short film could be well, very short, a few minutes, and likely no more than ten. Even that might be pushing it. Using say, Pixar shorts as a reference, most are between 4 and 8 minutes. The original movie is an hour and 36 minutes. The “Debut” in the title indicates some sort of flashback, perhaps to when HUNTR/X first arrived on the scene before they blew up. Previously, director Maggie Kang has commented about how there were more backstory components that were supposed to be in the film that were cut, but hinted those could be explored in a sequel. But perhaps some may be put into a short here. I very much doubt those scenes were fully produced and simply cut, but perhaps they were finished up for this short film here. When would Debut: KPop Demon Hunters theoretically arrive? I’m not sure the other films on the list are much help. Dead of Winter is out in less than two weeks. Mother Mary does not have a release date. Ne Zha 2 came out earlier this year. I’ve only seen news stories saying The Perfect Gamble was supposed to come out in Q1 2025, but I’ve seen no evidence that it actually has.
