More than 400 people, upwards of 120 individuals involved in prescribing and distributing narcotics, have been charged in connection with healthcare fraud and opioid scams totaling $1.3 billion in false billing.
Announcing the charges on Thursday, Atty. Gen. Jeff Sessions calls it the "largest healthcare fraud take down operation in American history."
Six Michigan physicians are among those charged in connection with a scheme to prescribe unnecessary opioid's.
