The Department of Justice has announced a major healthcare-fraud prosecution in Nevada, where a federal grand jury indicted physician Stephen Dubin, M.D., in connection with an alleged $95 million Medicare fraud scheme involving amniotic wound allografts. According to the government, the case centers on claims that medically unnecessary grafts were billed for elderly patients, making it one of the more significant recent criminal matters tied to Medicare reimbursement and wound-care products.

The allegations are notable both for their scale and for the product category involved.
