From the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS)- Office of Inspector General (OIG) website):
In November 2011, Ji Hae Kim was charged for conspiracy to commit healthcare fraud. According to the criminal information, Ji Hae Kim (Kim), a registered nurse, worked for Greatcare Home Health, Inc. (Greatcare), a home health agency located in the Los Angeles area. Kim pleaded guilty in November 2011; she was released and was waiting to be sentenced when she fled.
Medicare paid Greatcare approximately $5.1 million for home health services that were purportedly provided.
According to the criminal information, Kim prepared false forms for Medicare patients receiving home health services from Greatcare, making it appear as though the patients' medical conditions and lack of willing caregivers made them eligible for home health services. Kim also falsified daily route sheets and skilled nursing notes to make it appear as though she had visited patients whom she had never visited.
Kim fled the United States while waiting for sentencing. She is a fugitive at large and maybe residing in South Korea.
