Federal agents raided a radiology practice on Long Island, NY, in what appears to be a probe of potential Medicare fraud, according to several news reports published on March 11.
Agents from the Office of Inspector General at the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services carried out the raid at the headquarters of Zwanger-Pesiri Radiology in Lindenhurst, according to an article in Newsday. The story claims that the agents are working with the FBI on an investigation into whether Zwanger-Pesiri overbilled Medicare for its services.
Zwanger-Pesiri operates 12 offices on Long Island. Federal officials declined to comment on the raid, Newsday reported.
