This might be one of the craziest healthcare fraud stories ever told on CNBC. Dr. Oz was explaining how deeply fraud has become embedded in the healthcare system when he recalled a bust in Philadelphia. The suspect was being arrested for drug possession and sales, but before the police could cuff him, he had to log out of his day job... DR. OZ: “Some of the things these charlatans do is, they’re shockingly effective at being grifters…” “I was just doing a bust in Philadelphia and a guy was getting arrested and they’re about to cuff him, and he said, before you cuff me, I got to log out of my day job, which is being a home care attendant.” “And the cop said, what are you talking about? I’m arresting you for narcotics possession and sales.” “And he says, yeah, I got that as a side gig. But my real money is like all the all the drug dealers became home care providers and he logged out on his phone.” “He was still making money. And the cop said, I’m going to arrest you because you’re lying to the, you know, because pretending you’re providing care.” “And the criminals said something very interesting…” “He said, if you arrest me, you have to arrest everybody in Philadelphia…” “We have normalized criminal behavior.” “We have normalized fraud.” “We have normalized stealing from the poor.” “That is an abdication of trust, we cannot tolerate as a nation.” “That’s why we’ve been so aggressive on this. We’re making huge inroads, and I’m quite confident that over the next year, we’ll send a very clear message: if you want to steal, don’t do it from the federal taxpayer.”
