July 12th, 2011
Brooklyn neurologist Dr. Leonard Langman has pleaded guilty to one count of health care fraud. Between January 2006 and December 2009, Dr. Langman defrauded Medicare, the U.S. Department of Labor, the Office of Workers’ Compensation Programs, the New York State Workers’ Compensation Board, and the New York State Insurance Fund, along with various private health insurance carriers. The conviction includes charges of submission of claims for services that weren’t provided, and billing for services at a higher level than services actually performed; double-billing different programs for the same service to the same patient; and billing for services supposedly performed while he was out of the country. Dr. Langman will be sentenced in December 2011, and faces a maximum sentence of 10 years in prison.
