Case Name:   USA v. Rosenberg
  Press Releases:
          WASHINGTON – A Los Angeles-based dentist was charged in an indictment unsealed on Monday for his alleged participation in a health care fraud and identity theft scheme.

          Acting Assistant Attorney General John P. Cronan of the Justice Department’s Criminal Division, United States Attorney Nicola T. Hanna, Assistant Director in Charge Andrew W. Vale of the FBI’s Washington, D.C. Field Office and Assistant Director in Charge Paul D. Delacourt of the FBI’s Los Angeles Field Office made the announcement.

          Benjamin Rosenberg, D.D.S., 58, of Los Angeles, was charged with six counts of health care fraud and two counts of aggravated identity theft. Rosenberg was arrested yesterday morning and made his initial court appearance yesterday in Los Angeles before United States Magistrate Judge Jean Rosenbluth.

          The indictment alleges that Rosenberg billed various insurance companies, including Medicaid-funded Denti-Cal, for dental procedures that were never provided. Rosenberg allegedly billed the insurance companies by using patients’ identification without their permission.

          An indictment is merely an allegation and the defendant is presumed innocent until proven guilty beyond a reasonable doubt in a court of law.

          This case was investigated by the FBI’s Washington and Los Angeles Field Offices. Trial Attorney Emily Culbertson of the Criminal Division’s Fraud Section is prosecuting the case.

          The Fraud Section leads the Medicare Fraud Strike Force, which is part of a joint initiative between the Department of Justice and the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) to focus their efforts to prevent and deter fraud and enforce current anti-fraud laws around the country. The Medicare Fraud Strike Force operates in nine locations nationwide. Since its inception in March 2007, the Medicare Fraud Strike Force has charged over 3,500 defendants who collectively have falsely billed the Medicare program for over $12.5 billion.
