The co-owner and the administrator of a Union City, New Jersey pharmacy were sentenced for their respective roles in conspiracies to defraud pharmacy benefit managers (“PBMs”) and healthcare benefit providers, including Medicare and Medicaid, out of more than $65 million and to pay kickbacks and bribes to healthcare professionals and their staffs in exchange for referrals of prescriptions, US Attorney Alina Habba announced. Husband and wife Samuel “Sam” Khaimov, 52, and Yana Shtindler, 48, both of Glen Head, New York, were sentenced by US District Judge Michael A. Shipp after previously pleading guilty. Khaimov, the co-owner of the pharmacy, was sentenced to a total of 87 months in prison—60 months for conspiring to commit healthcare fraud and 27 months for conspiring to violate the federal anti-kickback statute, with the sentences to run consecutively. Khaimov was also sentenced to separate three-year terms of supervised release to run concurrently. Shtindler, the administrator of the pharmacy, was sentenced to 72 months in prison for conspiring to commit healthcare fraud, followed by three years of supervised release. Khaimov and Shtindler’s co-defendants, Ruben Sevumyants of Marlboro, New Jersey, and Alex Fleyshmakher of Morganville, New Jersey, have already pled guilty to counts in the Superseding Indictment and are pending sentencing.
