Carl Smith L.M.H.C. aka Lil Dog, New Horizon HouseCarl Smith, the 65-year-old manager of New Horizon House LLC, has been charged with participating in a fraudulent drug-screening operation. Arraigned on Friday, he pleaded not guilty and is being held on $30,000 bail. He is due back in Suffolk Superior Court on Oct. 14.
According to a court filing from the attorney general’s office, Smith has a “lengthy criminal record” dating back to 1975 when he was convicted of armed robbery. He was sentenced to three to five years in state prison. He was convicted of rape of young boys in1979 and 1989. He is a pedophile and registered level 1 sex offender.
He was also convicted of kidnapping and armed robbery in 1979, larceny in 1989, forgery and embezzlement in 1991, forgery and larceny in 1994, and possession of a hypodermic needle or syringe in 1995, the filing noted.
Carl Smith’s indictment was one of 118 brought by Coakley through a statewide grand jury and others in Suffolk and Bristol counties. The alleged scheme involves three health care companies, ten individuals, and $10 million fraudulently obtained, largely from the state Medicaid program.
State Rep. Marty Walsh, who attended the Port Norfolk meeting, said he was troubled by the allegations. “I question what kind of program he’s actually running there,” he said. “If he’s defrauding the government, is he defrauding the clients as well and not providing them with services?”
Describing four unrelated cases, state prosecutors said Adlife Healthcare of Framingham allegedly billed the state for medical treatment to people who were deceased. Preventive Medicine Associates, and its owner, Dr. Punyamurtula Kishore, of Brookline, allegedly ran a “kickback scheme” with sober houses throughout the state.
Smith is accused of getting paid $34,000 in return for arranging the ordering of urine drug screening tests for which MassHealth paid Kishore and PMA more than $786,000.
According to the State House News Service, David Benson of New Bedford allegedly over-billed the state by making it seem as though his psychotherapy patients had more dire medical needs. Pond View Nursing Facility, in Jamaica Plain, was shut down in June 2008 for bad service, Coakley said, and its owner, Carolyn Wetterberg, was indicted for allegedly inflating the supposed medical needs of Pond View patients.
“They may as well be walking over to MassHealth and taking money out of the Treasury,” Coakley said about the four companies and the “separate but very serious violations of public trust.”
Asked about the extent of fraud in the massive program, Coakley said she was unable to provide a specific estimate but said, “obviously there’s a lot.”
Adlife, an adult foster care program, is accused of the biggest fraud, amounting to $5.5 million in which the company claimed adults, who would visit during the day, were round-the-clock patients and billed the state for patients who are actually dead. Adlife had offices in West Springfield, Dorchester, and Hyannis, but Adlife and the other accused companies are “not in business,” according to Coakley.
Preventive Medicine Associates was the next largest, accused of $3.8 million in unnecessary drug tests as part of a kickback scheme with sober houses in Dorchester, Malden, New Bedford and elsewhere that would contract with PMA to perform the unnecessary drug screens.
After the state shutdown, Pond View and the patients were moved to other nursing homes. Many of them reportedly needed help eating and walking, but in the move out of Pond View many were able to perform both those activities without any assistance, according to Coakley, who said, “We do not believe there were miracles performed after those patients left that nursing home.”
MassHealth, which runs the state’s Medicaid program, is budgeted at $10.3 billion, or about a third of the state’s budget. The 118 indictments, which Coakley described as difficult and expensive to achieve, accuse the four companies of defrauding about a tenth of one percent of the MassHealth budget.

“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?
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.

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.
HIS HOME DETOX PROTOCOL HAS CAUSED A LOT OF PEOPLE TO RELAPSE AND DIE. HE IS A QUACK IN EVERY SENSE OF THE WORD. HE WAS NOT LICENSED TO PRACTICE ADDICTION MEDICINE BY THE MASSACHUSETTS DEPT. OF PUBLIC HEALTH.
ReplyDeleteA quack is someone who falsely claims medical knowledge and/or uses unproven and unscientific remedies. It is derived from the Dutch “quacksalver” meaning a person who cures with home remedies
Unproven, usually ineffective, and sometimes dangerous medicines and treatments have been peddled throughout human history. Theatrical performances were sometimes given to enhance the credibility of purported medicines. Grandiose claims were made for what could be humble materials indeed: for example, in the mid-19th century Revalenta Arabica was advertised as having extraordinary restorative virtues as an empirical diet for invalids; despite its impressive name and many glowing testimonials it was in truth only ordinary lentil flour, sold to the gullible at many times the true cost.

ReplyDeleteThe mysterious National Library of Addictions Of all the libraries in all the world, which is the most addictive — and the most mysterious? Perhaps it’s The National Library of Addictions. This addictive entity is located in Brookline, Massachusetts. Founded by Punyamurtula S. Kishore, M.D., M.P.H., it is said to be “an intellectual gathering place for health care professionals and community members.” The institution is little known to the library-loving public, and information about it is scarce. Many questions present themselves. What addictions are kept in the library’s collection, and which of them are available for use by the public? Which of these addictions can be taken out on loan? Is there a children ’s room, or is the library open only to adults? Bibliophiles note with pleasure that the library appears to own at least one book.
