the Richard Davidson who pleaded guilty to medicare scams charges recently is the exact same Richard Davidson who goes by “Dr. Rich”to patients of his Boca Raton practice, Totality Chiropractic, on Yamato Road. Davidson owns a house in “Seven Bridges “in Delray Beach. Federal court documents acquired by BocaNewsNow.com show the incredible speed in which prosecutors submitted an “info “– a charging file that does not require a grand jury– and accepted Davidson's guilty plea. The information was filed in May. The guilty plea came last week. By pleading guilty, the Department of Justice says Davidson confesses to his role in huge healthcare scams. He deals with a decade in prison and has actually accepted forfeit $2,472,087 to the United States.
From the Department of Justice:
“According to the plea arrangement, in 2018, Davidson and his conspirators developed a corporation of durable medical devices(“DME”)supply companies. During the development of the companies, they lied to Medicare to protect billing privileges. The scheme included positioning the business in the names of straw owners. By concealing their true ownership, the conspirators covertly got control of multiple companies, which Medicare restricts. This made it possible for the conspirators to send high volumes of unlawful DME claims while trying to evade police scrutiny. In one year, through the conglomerate, Davidson and his conspirators submitted more than $20 million in unlawful DME claims, resulting in more than $10 million in payments from Medicare and the Civilian Health and Medical Program of the Department of Veterans Affairs (“CHAMPVA”).”
The case was investigated by the United States Department of Health and Human Services, the FBI, the Department of Veterans Affairs, the IRS and
other companies. BocaNewsNow.com reported on an FBI raid in Seven Bridges in June. That raid appears unrelated to this case. This case is likewise unassociated to another Seven Bridges resident dealing with federal charges in what prosecutors call an “illegal dietary supplement scheme.” Likewise unassociated: a federal lawsuit filed by a homeowner against another property owner in the community along with the homeowners association.
Whether Davidson's prompt guilty plea leads to a lowered sentence won't be understood for some time– a sentencing date has not yet been set. Davidson's better half signed a $100,000 bond agreement to secure her husband's release.
