United States Attorney for the Southern District of New York, Jay Clayton, Special Agent in Charge of the New York Regional Office of the US Department of Health and Human Services, Office of Inspector General (HHS-OIG), Naomi Gruchacz, and Assistant Director in Charge of the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), Christopher G. Raia, announced the filing of an Information charging Nosson Sklar, a/k/a Nathan Sklar, with engaging in a scheme to defraud health benefit programs through the submission of more than $20 million in fraudulent claims. According to the Information, the Complaint previously filed against Sklar, and other filings and statements made in court: Sklar was the owner and chief executive officer of a company that operated a series of physical rehabilitation facilities around New York City (the Rehabilitation Company). Between at least January 2020 and in or about July 2024, Sklar submitted or caused others to submit more than $20 million in claims for medical services to various healthcare benefit programs, asserting that those services were rendered by a physician who worked with the Rehabilitation Company (Victim-1). But that was false. Victim-1 did not provide those services, did not work with the Rehabilitation Company during that time, and did not authorize Sklar to submit bills in his name.
