The doctor recruited Amtrak employees to participate in the scheme by paying them to allow him to use their patient and insurance information, officials said.
Muhammad Mirza, 50, of Cedar Grove, pleaded guilty to one count of conspiracy to commit health care fraud before a federal court judge, according to a statement from the US Attorney’s Office.
From April 2017 through June 2022, Mirza and others, who were not identified Wednesday, were part of a scheme to bill the Amtrak health care plan for fraudulent claims for services that either were never provided or were medically unnecessary, the office said. They would recruit Amtrak employees by paying them to allow the conspirators to use their patient and insurance information to submit fake claims, which they submitted. It caused Amtrak losses of more than $1.3 million, investigators said.Mirza faces a maximum of 10 years in prison when he is sentenced on Sept. 13, federal prosecutors said.
