An Indian national, Yogesh K Pancholi, has been sentenced to nine years for a $2.8 million healthcare fraud involving billing Medicare for services never provided through his company, Shring Home Care Inc.
Yogesh K Pancholi, 43, owner of Shring Home Care Inc., received a nine-year sentence for a $2.8 million healthcare fraud. He billed Medicare for services never provided, violating exclusions from Medicare billing. This type of practice is known as Phantom Billing.

Pancholi acquired Shring, concealing ownership using others’ information. Pancholi and co-conspirators billed and received nearly $2.8 million from Medicare within two months for nonexistent services. Funds were transferred through shell corporations, ultimately ending up in Pancholi’s Indian accounts. Pancholi used pseudonyms to write false emails accusing a government witness of crimes to hinder testimony on the eve of trial.
The Department of Justice announced the nine-year imprisonment sentence for Pancholi.
