PHILADELPHIA — The FBI’s organized-crime squad is investigating a Russian group for alleged Medicare fraud at the Home Care Hospice Inc. in the Northeast.
At stake is $8.5 million in 39 bank accounts spread among 15 financial institutions, according to a temporary restraining order unsealed yesterday. The 39 accounts are held in the names of HCH, the four defendants and six other companies, mostly for real estate.
