Indian Doctor Steals $9 Million from U.S. Taxpayers: Gets 1 Year in Jail
ReplyDeleteDr Punyamurtula Kishore - in healthcare, the criminals hide in plain sight
“This case exhibited blatant theft of state funds that were supposed to go toward care for some of our most vulnerable residents. This is fraud that undermines the integrity of our health care system.”
(State Attorney General Maura Healey)
In the town of Brookline Massachusetts yet another Indian physician has been found guilty of defrauding Medicaid of millions of taxpayer funds, according to State Attorney General Maura Healey this morning.
How well do you know YOUR doctor?
Doctor Punyamurtula Kishore, age 64, whose ongoing scam business Preventive Medicine Associates provided an excellent cover for a monstrous kickback scheme, changed his “not guilty” plea to “guilty” yesterday in Suffolk Superior Court. He admitted to 19 counts of false Medicaid Claims; 8 counts of Medicaid Kickbacks and 11 other counts of grand theft.
Attorney General Healey said, “this doctor orchestrated a complex kickback scheme to funnel a lucrative drug screening business to his laboratories and then billed taxpayers millions of dollars for those services.”
As a result, Superior Court Judge Janet Sanders sentenced Kishore to 360 days in the jail and a 10-year suspended sentence. Kishore, age 63, was ordered to surrender his medical license and repay $9,300,000 in restitution.
Lab coat lunatic Kishore had owned and operated Preventive Medicine Associates, which managed about 30 laboratories in Massachusetts, including physician office labs. The prosecution was able to prove that Kishore used bribery to induce operators of alcohol and drug housing to refer their residents’ urine screening business to his laboratories for testing. Residents were typically screened three times per week.
By law, $100-$200 urine drug tests may legally be billed to MassHealth by a doctor if they are medically necessary. Kishore illegally obtained tens of thousands of drug screens paid for by MassHealth residents who were never qualified patients.
State regulations require that the services must be medically necessary and the provider must be physically present and actively involved in the treatment.
Here’s another look:
Our Observations:
This particular Third World Assassin graduated from Andhra Medical College in India in 1974. He immigrated to the U.S. and learned from his colleagues that the American medical system is rife with opportunities for massive theft. Had he been even slightly less greedy, it is likely he never would have been caught.
After his time in jail, do you wonder if this brazen public enemy will be deported?
Absolutely not. the United States does not deport foreign-born criminal doctors. We reward them.

ReplyDeletePeter McCarthy of Steps to Solutions is one of the most dangerous men in the "recovery" field
ReplyDeletePeter McCarthy is one of the most dangerous men in the "recovery" field. He habitually preys on newcomers in the halls of AA and NA. The "program" he is running is really a cult. He lures people back from meetings saying that he is holding another meeting at his house. He then preaches from the Bible saying that he is the voice of God. This is not NA! NA has no affiliation with any religion nor does it have any leaders, and the people we trust to make decisions are certainly not decided by Divine right. It is horrifying to watch him and his disciples go from meeting to meeting to find people in hard places to take advantage of financially, and the women physically. THIS IS A CULT, with the possibility of turning into a Waco, Heavens Gate, or Jonestown scenario.Give him a wide berth

MAD DOG MILLIONAIRE a.k.a. Punyamurtula Kishore MD, Patients Die of Improper Care Protocols!!!!
Many of Dr. Punyamurtula Kishore's patients have died because of improper treatment and care methods. This Quack doctor ("Hitler"of Medical Genocide) should not be allowed to practice medicine anywhere. Preventive Medicine Associates, formerly Addiction medicine Associates was a Death Camp (The Holocaust for Drug Addicts and Alcoholics, "Auschwitz" in Brookline, MA) I worked at his Brookline office and witness the death of many patients. Dr. Kishore should be arrested, arraigned and prosecuted for 1st. degree murder or manslaughter.
Dr. Punyamurtula Kishore was reprimanded, fined $2,500 and required to perform 50 hours of Board-approved community service and to complete additional continuing professional development credits. He was found to have inappropriately filed four Temporary Involuntary Hospitalization Applications for the purpose of drug treatment and drug testing. Dr. Kishore is a 1975 graduate of Andhra Medical College in India. He specializes in Addiction Medicine and has NOT been licensed in Massachusetts TO PRACTICE Addiction medicine !!!!!!!!!!!!!
, in what Coakley’s office calls an “intricate scheme” involving drug testing, sober homes, and his Preventive Medicine Associates (PMA).
According to Coakley, Kishore used various bribes or kickbacks to persuade sober house owners to require residents to submit urine tests at least three times per week. The tests were performed by PMA’s office laboratories, then billed to MassHealth, which pays $100 to $200 for such screens. Also charged in the case were Carl Smith, manager of New Horizon House, John Coughlin, president of Gianna’s House, and Thomas Leonard, part owner and manager of Marshall House—all for receiving kickbacks.
MAD DOG a.k.a Punymurtula Kidhore MD and Lil Dog a.k.a. Carl Smith L.M.H.C. are responsible for the death of Eleanor Clark of Weston , Massachusetts.
Just look at what happen to James Clark .
James Clark was a client at the same address where the Director/Manager Carl Smith resided at ,50 Draper Street in Dorchester MA. Carl Smith is suppose to be a state licensed Mental Health Clinician , If so , than why did he discharge James Clark ? James clark never tested postive for a toxicology screen for illegal or prescription drugs, than why was he discharged ?
He was discharged for behavioral and attitude problems that were related to his psychiatric and substance abuse diagnosis. Carl Smith L.M.H.C. should have been able to detect that this man had psychological problems and referred him for treatment to MAD DOG aka Punyamurtula K...ishore's Neurological Clinic for treatment and to help James Clark get back on his psychiatric medication. Instead , Carl Smith discharged him and the following day , James Clark murdered his 81 year old grandmother Eleanor Clark in Weston Massachusetts .
Punyamurtula Kishore MD aka MAD DOG Millionaire referred James Clark to Carl Smith's Program New Horizon House after James Clark was Discharged from St. Elizabeths Hospital's S.E.C.A.P.'s Detoxification unit255

Punyamurtula Kishore, 64, on Tuesday pleaded guilty in a Boston courtroom to running a scheme using his company Preventive Medicine Associates. He was sentenced to 360 days in jail with 11 months to serve and the balance suspended for 10 years. He and his former company must jointly pay $9.3 million in restitution, according to Attorney General Maura Healey’s office.
ReplyDeleteBOSTON – A Brookline doctor has been ordered to pay $9.3 million in restitution to MassHealth after he pleaded guilty Tuesday to ripping off the taxpayer funded health insurance program in a kickback scheme operated out of his chain of addiction treatment clinics, which included locations in Quincy and Weymouth.
Suffolk Superior Court Judge Janet Sanders also sentenced Punyamurtula Kishore, 64, to 360 days in jail with 11 months to serve with the balance suspended for 10 years, according to Attorney General Maura Healey’s office. As a condition of the sentence, Kishore must also surrender his medical license, which had been suspended a year ago.
Kishore pleaded guilty to one count of larceny over $250. His former company, Preventive Medicine Associates, pleaded guilty to charges including making false Medicaid claims, Medicaid kickbacks and larceny over $250. MassHealth is Massachusetts’ Medicaid program, which provides health insurance to the poor.
Kishore’s chain of more than two-dozen clinics, including Weymouth Medical Practice on Washington Street and Quincy International Health Center on Hancock Street, closed abruptly around the time of his arrest on fraud in 2011.
Prosecutors said Kishore bribed owners and employees of eight sober-housing programs to send urine-screening work that was medically unnecessary to his labs. Over time he was reimbursed more than $9 million by MassHealth for tens of thousands of drug screens.
“This case exhibited blatant theft of state funds that were supposed to go toward care for some of our most vulnerable residents,” Healey said in a statement. “This is fraud that undermines the integrity of our health care system.”
Drug screens generally cost MassHealth between $100 and $200, according to Healey’s office.
Kishore’s attorney, Mark Berthiaume, could not be reached for comment.
Kishore had been scheduled to go to trial on Monday after receiving nine postponements. The trial was cancelled ahead of his plea change.
Kishore’s clinics specialized in treating addiction with injections of Vivitrol, a medication that can block the euphoric effects of drugs like heroin and OxyContin on the brain.
Before his arrest Kishore, who founded his for-profit company in 1996, had been widely quoted in newspaper stories about drug treatment methods. He has also authored op-ed pieces for The Patriot Ledger.
Two other men have already pleaded guilty to participating in the Medicaid kickback scheme and two more still face charges.
In June 2012, Damion Smith, a 42-year-old New Jersey resident and president of Fresh Start Recovery Coalition, received a two-year jail sentence, which was suspended for two years. Carl Smith, a 69-year-old Dorchester resident and manager of New Horizon House, in January received a two-year jail sentence suspended for two years.
Prosecutors’ case against Thomas Leonard, a Malden resident and part owner and manager of the Marshall House sober home in Malden, is ongoing. John Coughlin, a Carver resident and president of Gianna’s House Inc., which operates several sober houses located in Wareham, New Bedford, and Sandwich, began his trial Tuesday in Suffolk Superior Court.
