Attorney General Kwame Raoul announced his office charged a Cook County physician alleging he fraudulently received over $1 million in Medicaid and Medicare payments for care and prescriptions he did not render to Medicaid and Medicare patients. The Attorney General’s office charged Mohammad Khamis, 56, of River Forest, with six counts of theft, one count of money laundering, a one count of managed healthcare fraud and one count of vendor fraud, and two counts of forgery. According to Attorney General Raoul’s office, Khamis is a physician who owned and operated four private medical practices and four pharmacies in Chicago. Raoul’s office alleges Khamis orchestrated fraud schemes that involved submitting payment for medical services he claimed to have provided but was really out of the country. Services were allegedly provided by a student from Khamis’ non-certified medical school in Bosnia who acted as a doctor and examined patients while Khamis was out of the country — despite not being licensed. Raoul’s office is alleging Khamis fraudulently billed Medicaid and Medicare for over $1 million in medical services and prescriptions the student provided while Khamis was out of the country.
