According to the American Association for Justice:  “The AP (10/29, Risling) reported two doctors ‘led a $5 million scam in which mentally ill homeless patients were paid $100 each for unnecessary treatments that were fraudulently billed to Medicare and Medi-Cal,’ Los Angeles prosecutors said Friday. Drs. Rodney Barron and Eleanor Arthur ‘were arrested Friday and along with five others charged with misdemeanor conspiracy, fraud and taking illegal kickbacks. If convicted, they each could face up to seven years in prison.'”
