<p>the Richard Davidson who pleaded guilty to medicare scams charges recently is the 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 files gotten by BocaNewsNow.com show the amazing speed in which prosecutors submitted an “information “– a charging document that doesn't require a grand jury– and accepted Davidson's guilty plea. The information was filed in May. The guilty plea came recently. By pleading guilty, the Department of Justice says Davidson admits to his role in enormous health care fraud. He deals with a decade in jail and has consented to surrender $2,472,087 to the United States.</p>

“According to the plea contract, in 2018, Davidson and his conspirators developed a corporation of durable medical equipment(“DME”)supply companies. Throughout the development of the companies, they lied to Medicare to protect billing benefits. The plan involved positioning the companies in the names of straw owners. By hiding their real ownership, the conspirators secretly gained control of numerous companies, which Medicare prohibits. This made it possible for the conspirators to send high volumes of prohibited DME claims while trying to avert law enforcement analysis. In one year, through the corporation, Davidson and his conspirators sent more than $20 million in illegal DME claims, leading to 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 firms. BocaNewsNow.com reported on an FBI raid in Seven Bridges in June. That raid appears unassociated to this case. This case is likewise unassociated to another Seven Bridges resident dealing with federal charges in what district attorneys call an “unlawful dietary supplement scheme.” Also unrelated: a federal lawsuit submitted by a property owner versus another house owner in the neighborhood as well as the house owners association.
Whether Davidson's prompt guilty plea leads to a reduced sentence won't be known for some time– a sentencing date has not yet been set. Davidson's wife signed a $100,000 bond agreement to protect her hubby's release.
