Inflating Resulting Insurance Claims

TRENTON – Acting Attorney General John J. Hoffman and the Office of the Insurance Fraud Prosecutor (OIFP) announced that a Hudson County neurologist was arrested today for allegedly paying a \”runner\” to bring him patients and then falsifying the nature of the treatment provided to those patients on claims to the insurance company.

The arrest of Dr. Dan Dumitru, 44, comes one day after a state grand jury charged him with two counts of health care claims fraud (second degree), two counts of criminal use of runners (third degree), two counts of falsification of medical records (fourth degree), and one count each of conspiracy to use a runner (third degree) in an alleged scam exposed by undercover OIFP detectives.
