Jose Goyos (38) of West Palm Beach, FL, was sentenced to 15 years in prison for his role in a wide-ranging conspiracy to defraud Medicare by billing over $67 million for medically unnecessary genetic testing.

The defendant was employed at a call center that engaged in deceptive telemarketing calls targeting thousands of Medicare beneficiaries and their physicians. Goyos managed the so-called “doctor chase” division of the call center, which contacted the primary care physicians of targeted Medicare beneficiaries and tricked these medical providers into ordering medically unnecessary genetic tests based on medical paperwork that the call center created.

Nine others were previously sentenced.

Daniel M. Carver (38) of Boca Raton was sentenced to 16 years and eight months in prison.
Thomas Dougherty (42) of Palm Beach was sentenced to 14 years in prison.
John Paul Gosney Jr. (42) of Parkland was sentenced to seven years and 11 months in prison.
Galina Rozenberg (42) of Hollywood was sentenced to four years in prison.
Michael Rozenberg (61) of Hollywood was sentenced to four years in prison.
Ethan Macier (25) of Boynton Beach was sentenced to three years and nine months in prison.
Louis “Gino” Carver (33) of Boca Raton was sentenced to two years and eight months in prison.
Ashley Cigarroa (32) of North Lauderdale was sentenced to two years and six months in prison.
Timothy Richardson (31) of Lantana was sentenced to two years in prison.



The American taxpayer will continue to suffer malfeasance, corruption, fraud, waste, abuse, and death panels in the health sector until the US moves to universal health care like Canada, the UK, or Germany.
