Amaury Perez

In May 2015, Amaury Perez was indicted on charges of conspiracy to commit health care fraud and money laundering. Investigators believe that Perez and co-conspirators were involved in a scheme to fraudulently bill Medicare approximately $2.5 million.

Perez co-owned Gold Care Home Health Services, a home health care company in Tampa, Florida. According to the investigation, Perez and a co-conspirator used Medicare beneficiary information to submit over $2.5 million in false home health claims to Medicare for services that were never performed or authorized by a physician. Proceeds from the fraud were then laundered through a number of fictitious shell companies in Florida.
