Rick Scott, the congressman from Florida while serving as CEO of Columbia/HCA, helped orchestrate the largest Medicare and Medicaid fraud case in U.S. history, ultimately resulting in $1.7 billion in federal fines. He is currently serving as a U.S. Senator for Florida.
While Scott resigned from Columbia/HCA before the Department of Justice finalized its settlements, the sprawling investigation revealed widespread illegal practices. The U.S. Department of Justice detailed how the hospital chain systemically defrauded federal health care programs and paid illegal financial kickbacks to physicians for patient referrals. You can review the details of the historic settlement directly via the Department of Justice Archive.
