“According to the plea contract, in 2018, Davidson and his conspirators established a conglomerate of long lasting medical equipment(“DME”)supply companies. During the development of the companies, they lied to Medicare to protect billing advantages. The scheme involved positioning the business in the names of straw owners. By hiding their true ownership, the conspirators secretly got control of numerous companies, which Medicare prohibits. This allowed the conspirators to submit high volumes of illegal DME claims while attempting to evade law enforcement examination. In one year, through the corporation, Davidson and his conspirators submitted more than $20 million in prohibited DME claims, leading to more than $10 million in payments from Medicare and the Civilian Health and Medical Program of the Department of Veterans Affairs (“CHAMPVA”).”
The case was investigated by the United States Department of Health and Human Services, the FBI, the Department of Veterans Affairs, the IRS and
other firms. BocaNewsNow.com reported on an FBI raid in Seven Bridges in June. That raid appears unrelated to this case. This case is also unassociated to another Seven Bridges resident dealing with federal charges in what prosecutors call an “illegal dietary supplement plan.” Also unassociated: a federal claim filed by a house owner against another homeowner in the neighborhood along with the house owners association.
Whether Davidson's timely guilty plea results in a minimized sentence will not be understood for a long time– a sentencing date has not yet been set. Davidson's wife signed a $100,000 bond contract to secure her partner's release.
